The lines aren't being controlled tightly enough, IMO.
I don't know what the answer is. It just seems to me that at a certain point (and I don't know what that point is) the mass show breeder crosses over in to the same gray area as the commercial breeders. Maybe not quite as dark a shade of gray, but gray none the less. |
You have asked several times what does Breeding to the Standard mean, I pulled this off the YTCA page, please read because this is what every show breeder wants to achive with their line.
