I don't think that is real comparison. Breeding a bad genetic defect is an absolute -- of course no one should do that. Breeding other faults when you have a good reason to believe progeny will NOT have the fault, is case by case thing. We don't even have all the genetic explanations for all traits. So, there has to be some guesswork and personal experience outside of the allelle charts.

You say you'll take a curl to the hair over a bad genetic defect, and I guess my question is why take either.
