The Parti Breeders face an uphill battle with the YTCA, that for certain is true. |
If you are refering to me, I prefer to think of a roller over a brush. No amount of responsibility will make up for not breeding to the Standard.
This battle will go on forever, which is good. The Parti should not be recognized in the ring, ever. I am sure they are terrific little dogs and I would take one if I found one in a shelter. In my younger days it would not even bother me, as I loved and had mutts. Now, I do not want to see any breed watered down for money. If it were not about the money, there would be no discussion.
