i think i understand where you are coming from. your point is that they shouldn't be so discrimitory and only allow the rare few to become breeders? but the thing is i don't think it's discrimitory at all, i think that everyone who is willing to do all the research required, and put in all the efforts required to breed is 'allowed' to breed.
the reason most have problems with bybers is because back yard breeders usually havent' done all the necessary things to make sure it is a sound idea to breed thier dogs. i think most BYB just think of it as a part time job to make a few bucks...
