I'm not sure what was said that some of you think someone said only show breeders should breed. No one said this in this thread; I certainly didn't say it, just because I said it's a good idea to "attend" shows to develop an eye, does not mean I think only show breeders should breed. A hobby breeder that is breeding to standard and doing health testing is my idea of a good breeder. I think some people don't breed to standard and are getting really upset, and doing a lot of misquoting of other people, which leads to more confusion.
I think this link gives explains the differences between the backyard breeder and the responsible breeder.
