So why is it wrong for us, but OK for them.

Also, those who are YTCA members, I think, (I'm sure they will correct me if I'm wrong), I think they pledge to uphold all of the rules and regulations of the YTCA. I also think that one of those rules is to NOT breed outside of the standard.

So they pledged not to do it, yet some do it anyway. We parti breeders did not pledge to do anything, so therefore we are not governed by the rules of the YTCA.

I would not join a group and pledge to abide by their rules and then break the rules. IMO that would be unethical, because they do not have to join the club, they do it by choice. If I did not like the rules, I would't join the club.

On right track?

I hope this quote post help.

It different because they breed out fault. Parti breeding FOR fault, direct against standard.
