It's not always so black and white, so unless one is personally involved they do not understand all they grey areas, so they cannot form an opinion based on experience, they are just making judgements based on hearsay.
You have to know a persons motive before you can judge them.
For example, it has been said, right here in this thread, that breeders will sometimes breed dogs, that do not meet the standard, in order to correct a fault in their line.
Breeding a dog with a fault is said to be unethical, unless it is being done for a good reason.
Dogs that carry the parti gene are said to have a fault. But if they are being exhibited in order to find out if they are worthy of being bred, so the breeder can improve their line, that should not be considered unethical.
Wwe are not breeding just to breed, we are trying to develop the parti into a great dog.
Does that make sense?
Also being fairly new on YT, you do not know what parti breeders have been told in the past. We were told, show your dogs, to find out if the are worthy of being bred, and so on. Now that they are showing they are being told they are unethical.
So you see there is a lot here that a new person does not understand, and therefore, in my opinion, are not qualified to make judgements.
That is just my opinion and do not want to start an argument. |
I like to respond by saying I really admire you respond so politely with no personal attack.
It mean more than you ever understand to me.
You raise valid point, and I do understand where you coming from. I do not voice opinion on subject I no believe I don't know enough about. If I not qualified, I butt out. I has studied parti gene and drawn own conclusions. Simply, my opinion is that they don't fit standard, therefore should not be breed. Don't know enough about the old debate because as you say, I new to this world and also to be honest, my literary skill not strong enough to properly understand pedigree yet.
I stand by opinion that yorkie should only be bred to standard. To me, it unethical to breed outside of standard. This only my opinion.
So while I agree with you on some point, I believe you need understand that you do not know me well enough to say what I do and not know.
Does make sense?
