Bettering has to do with getting the line closer to the correct conformation which has been set forth in the breed's standard. The standard may be somewhat open to interpretation but it isn't an opinion by an individual breeder. You can breed with a purpose and a plan for the future or you can breed for the public's whims, just be honest about what your reasons are!
