I do think all dogs are cute in their own unique way, but when i see a breeder whose breeding dogs have so many faults, it makes it even harder to hold my tongue. Maybe if pet owners would develop more of a critical eye, they would support better breeders. For a long time, pet owners only seemed interested in size, or color. Don't get me wrong, i don't think pet owners need the perfect dog, but i think they should support breeders who's breeding dogs are great examples of the breed.

amen!
