You have to walk in a show breeder's shoes to realize the hard work, long hours.......
Good breeders dogs don't end up in rescues........
Show breeders will always take their dogs back.......
We have to preserve the breed......
What do these type statements have to do with whether or not someone is wrong for breeding in high volumes? They all sound like justification statements and is there any really good justification for high volume breeding?
How many show breeders are needed to preserve a breed?
What have you, individually, specifically, as a show breeder done to improve/better the breed? What improvements need to be made?
I've yet to have anyone satisfactorily explain how they as a breeder are improving or bettering this breed and at the same time preserving this breed? If you want to preserve something, that is the act of leaving it as it is, unchanged. Improving/bettering is an act of change....just what is it show breeders are trying to change, when the are also preserving the breed
