Gail - very helpful post also in #189.

Let me check if I'm absorbing it. So, a dog could potentially be shown even if they have a minor or major fault...depending upon the rest of their qualities. Also, a dog *might* be bred with a fault if a breeder is trying to correct/adjust their line, and the fault may help do this. (ie, a larger size may help bring up weights, if needed)

Is this what some are saying (very simply put, that is)? Sorta?

Donna, I appreciate what you're saying....and this is why I ask questions of all sorts of breeders (not just one type). YT is mostly about learning for me. Not everyone can attend dog shows. That's why it's beneficial and educational to try to learn here, if that's the extent of what one is able to do. I know I don't have to show to learn, that's why I'm asking questions.
