So...what you are saying is...
We should not show and possibly Champion a dog who meets the standard in terms of color and conformation...because we know it can one day produce a parti if bred to another carrier?
We are told at every turn on this board to get out there...show your dog, prove his or her's worth to be bred. Oh...but not you parti people. You are not allowed to show your dogs. Not even the ones who meet the standard. Well then...we can't win for losing...can we? LOL |
Looking past whether or not breeding partis is "ethical", and strictly for hypothetical purposes...On an argument based on what may or may not be considered a 'fault', how would it be any different than Championing a dog that may not
have LS, but who may be a carrier? True, the dog may have a CH title, may make breedings more marketable, but what does it really matter if the dogs he produces have LS. Same concept, I suppose. Sure, the dog may not actually be a Parti, the CH title may make the pups more marketable, but what would it matter if the dogs produced are Parti and non standard.
That's kind of what I take the statment to mean.
