I absolutely agree...it has EVERY right to be shown and to earn it's titles, regardless to if it's a carrier of a fault or not. If it meets the standard, then it meets the standard. Point is, what good does that title really do if every generation after that does does NOT meet that same criteria? How would having a CH sire make any difference if bred to a very poor example of the breed? |
Good point but let me ask you this.
What good does it do to Ch a regular yorkie with a faulted color, when the color is passed on to the offspring ???
There is no guarantee that any dog Championed will also produce offspring that meet or exceed that of the dog who was Championed.
We know the Parti gene can be taken recessive by breeding to another standard colored dog or be expressed if breed to another carrier.
Since showing is to evaluate breeding stock and a tool used by those who are looking to breed better dogs.
Isn't that the whole point to showing to producing dogs with sound structure, movement.. etc ???
