They operate under the theory that if something is good then more is better. giving no thought to the problems that are being created along the way.
Perhaps it is all in an attempt to "Better the Breed". Show breeders should focus on meeting the standards, not exceeding them.
It is good to see the show breeders take some heat. Maybe us non show breeders don't look so bad after all. We just want to produce nice healthy beautiful dogs. |
But you dont believe in "standards"!!LOL At least not the Yorkshire Terrier Standard. Your statement is like the pot calling the kettle black!!LOL
That little show on TV was VERY one sided and only showed a minute number of show people. Sad as this film was, this does not represent the majority of the true exhibitor/breeders or breed clubs/kennel clubs. There will ALWAYS be the few that give a black eye to the majority. But people like you that believe the factuality of that film hook, line and sinker is exactly the people this film was made for.
