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. |
Yes I was referring to you. The dilution of the Yorkie breed is going on, in a much more intense, and devastating way with all the bybers, and puppy mills, who supposedly breed Standard Yorkies. And they do it for the money! the money to be had from one of the most popular breeds.
Your Cane Corso didn't get recognized by AKC until what 2years ago? Does that mean your breeder was breeding for the money because this breed wasn't recognized yet? My breed wasn't recognized in AKC until 2007, does that mean the few breeders here in North America were doing it for the money??? Or was it for the love of these unique breeds?
I do not support your opinion that ALL Parti breeders are in it for the money. As I said before there is much room for passion, and belief, and a willingness to buck the "standard quo", to breed to their passion, with their intellect, their knowledge, and yes take the knocks along the way.
For me personally, I don't know if the Partis should be recognized or not. I just know that the road will be a long haul for those passionate breeders.
