Good post!! Some parti breeders seem to think that its the reputable show breeder that is ALWAYS sweeping things under the rug. Well, i bet it happens in the parti world as well, even you reputable ones. We show breeders just dont hear about it. HMMMMMMMMMM. In fact I really havent seen ANY facts pertaining to the parti except hear-say. Its always "I have been told by so and so" or "I have a copy of a letter to someone about the extensive investigation", or " many old time breeders including the Wildweir twins said this , that and the other thing". So which twin said what? Somehow all things posted only point to Nikko, who is known for selling their dogs, even their SHOW stock without breeder contracts.(by the way, I talked to Nikko way back when they were showing Johnny)
So I have to ask, WHY ALL THE SECRETS!!! You are condemming the show people for doing the exact same thing that you are doing.
