I not sure how you got all that out of my statement; I realize for some, dog breeding is a business; many people don't believe it should be. How this relates to the Nazis, I don't understand. Show breeders' dogs are often much less expensive than pet quality dogs, and a real bargain, if you can obtain one. Most show breeders believe that puppy placement is more important than money received. I don't think it's imperative for every breeder to show, but I believe that a good breeder should work closely with others to insure that their breeding dogs are great examples of the breed, for many people can't properly evaluate their own dogs. When we have a pet, we often overlook its flaws, and only see its beauty, and I believe that's the way it should be. This is a difference in philosophy and I accept their philosophy, obviously you don't. I truly believe there are breeders out there who's only goal is to better the breed, not to make money from their dogs. Most show breeders are lucky to break even.
