I regret any hurt feelings...I have had my feeling hurt many times in dogs.
... forget about YTCA and regional clubs. Many are not members and might feel they are not effected by codes etc.
So, that leaves AKC membership. They have a standard for each breed. It is a guide to producing a pup of any given breed..it must be used as a foundation for breeding...when it is not used, Yorkies begin to take on that mixed look and people start posting.."IS MY YORKIE A YORKIE"...
Is it unethcial to judge others as breeders?..No, I do not feel so. We must judge and evaluate each other, keep each other in check, answer to each other in order to safe guard the breed. IS it unethcial to judge your MD or mechanic etc..whatever we produce is up for inspection and evaluation.
Do show breeders follow all the codes and bylaws..so they all use the best of the breeder for breeding...no way.
Ethic's has nothing to do with what club or clubs a breeder belongs to..but simple pride in doing what is correct for the breed to the best of their ability. |
