But it's still not listed as a fault when an otherwise healthy dog that meets the standard in every way except being the "wrong" color is considered faulty.
Sorry- I don't mean to be confrontational here, but I truly don't understand the thinking that is going on here with the YTCA. |
me either. or those breeders who excuse using dogs that do not meet the standard, in order to better the breed. They didn't better anything. the dog still has the fault and so do half of the offspring. So how did that better the breed.
What it did was to better their line. Not the entire breed.
What we are all dloing is competing with ourselves. trying to make the next generation better than the last. And that is the challenge that keeps us all breeding.
