I understand what you are saying.
I am not the one that brought up the comparison. The question was, how is one breeding to the standard and one isn't considered that. IMO, that is determined by what you are trying to achieve in the pups you produce. Are you using these faults, but still trying to achieve the 'standard', or not. With Partis, you are trying to get dogs that won't meet the standard.
Again, if I were asked to explain, which I was, that would be my take on it. What I can't figure out is why it was even brought up or why it's relevant to the topic that was being discussed.

You are right about that!
