A dog breed standard should never be "trendy." Changes in standard should only be done with extreme caution and with as much knowledge as possible on what type of impact this will have on the breed. |
Awwwww shucks LOL Thank you- I just wish more "breeders" would stop and think of the health and temperament aspects of the dog before
dreaming of the bottom line or choosing to follow the latest trend.
Education- and I mean a good SOLID education, not a quick browse online or mentoring from one breeder
alone is desperately needed in the
majority of breeds today... just sayin'
