Because otherwise, what are you trying to achieve by breeding them if there isn't any goal "type" that you are trying to match. I really think you are missing the point...or just trying to change the subject and make a different point altogether. No one is claiming that Partis are the only non-standard dogs being produced or bred. Just that you can't breed a dog to a standard when a standard for the dog doesn't exists. To state such, as was done earlier, is misleading to those who are uninformed. The rest is really irrelevant as far as that fact is concerned.

Wow, I didn't know that the YTCA was adamately promoting and calling for the death of those dogs that don't meet the standard.
I repeatedly see that "breeders were forced to cull these dogs" and I'm just curious as to
who exactly forced them and why that seems to be a brought up as if it serves as some sort of justification for the practice.
Also, you state that "we do have a standard set for the parti". So my question is, "who" exactly is "we", when did this set standard come about and which official organization or registry has adopted it. In short, show me where is has been recognized as an official standard.
