As the ethics of dog breeding has now been compared to the ethics of pedophiles and murderers (extreme examples, IMO), perhaps ethics should be discussed a little more.
At one time I bought into the spiel the YTCA and it's members try to sell regarding the ethics of dog breeding. Others actions and education have changed my opinion of what constitutes good dog breeding ethics. I believe the best interest of the breed was lost long ago to the all important dollar and to egos, regardless of what many of their "ethical, reputable" breeders want us to believe.
I do find it hypocritical that one would imply their ethics regarding breeding and showing are somehow better than others because they wouldn't show a carrier, and don't believe partis should be bred. But, then that same person isn't above showing off a little cleavage to a male judge in order to better their chances of winning. Ethical? Or, the one who's ethics wouldn't allow partis to be shown/bred, but has no problem with dyeing yorkies. Ethical?
