So wouldn't breeding a red leg, black and tan and running gold into a breeding program also be considered using sub-standard quality dogs and no responsible or reputable breeder would do that? |
I believe that I already went over issues of the red leg, black and running gold. No reputable breeder will breed a dog with runnng gold and if one crops up in a litter, its spay, neuter, plce. And the black or red leg would have to be sooooooooooooooooo outstanding a specimen of the breed to even be considered breeding to. These dogs are not used frequently for the reasons I gave before. Why would you want to breed for "hidden" saddles?
