I'm against the breeding for other things that are not standard, as well. For example, if a breeder decided to breed for a drooping ear, I would not approve of that either, I personally think the drooping ear is adorable and I'm not against those dogs, or any other dog that doesn't meet standard. I believe no breeder should breed for things that aren't standard. I think there is a clear difference. If someone loves a specific trait so much that they think standard should be changed, I believe they should find a breed whose standard incorporates this trait. I really think there are too many pets in this country now, and breeding should have a goal beyond producing pets. Some parti breeders seem to have a goal higher than just producing more pets, but I don't think they market their dogs as rare, and I think they do try to follow the rules of ethical breeding.
