It was at that time that I severed my relationship with them. I felt it was unethical then and still do. And what a shame, Nikko Kennels had some gorgeous dogs at one time even though they had no qualms about breeding in health issues. |
Well, on that we can agree upon. Many "show" kennels had no qualms on breeding beauty before health.
