Let's say you have a dog with a low tail set (a fault), but has all the other attributes that is desired within the standard. As a breeder you would want to correct that fault, so you breed it to a dog that can correct that low tail set faults. There is no perfect dog and a breeder that understands this and canine genetics, knows how to correct faults.....The same with bad ear sets, rears, fronts, laybacks, toplines, etc. |
So why not just NOT breed that dog in the first place? Why not just breed champions that have no faults?
You are not breeding the fault out of that dog, it still has the fault, and so do half of the offspring.
What you are saying is that if you breed a traditional, that meets the standard, to a parti, and you get all carriers, That would be OK?
If you breed two CH carriers together and half of the puppies are traditional and half are partis, is that OK?
You see what I mean about not being all black and white?
