I and some others I know have had great luck in breeding parti carriers to partis and getting good color.
There are alot of parti colored dogs in the show ring, like the parti cocker spaniel. You have to have a standard. |
Has there ever been a standard that 50% of the parti breeders agreed upon? You say that the mother club should write the standard, but wouldn't there still many/most breeders who didn't like that standard, and wanted their personal markings to be accepted? Right now, parti breeders talk about breeding "outside the box", or doing their own thing, I just don't see how that would change. Furthermore, how can you write a standard for someone who doesn't believe in the standard, or see the importance of breeding to it?
