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?  |
For the third time, I will attempt to explain I didn't compare parti breeders to pedophiles. I was trying to explain you couldn't justify your actions by saying that members of a good organization do something therefore I can do something. Kpstoybox, even said that she was being sarcastic, when she made her comment about "if a YTCA member can show and breed a known carrier...then so can I!"

However, I do wish this Ch. carrier a long and prosperous stud career!!  |
I guess I should have realized she was being sarcastic, but I've read this excuse in so many threads before, that a YTCA member does such and such so why should I do any better, that I felt like I had to address it. I really find it hard to believe that anyone thinks I'm comparing pedophiles to parti breeders, and
if they do, I sincerely apologize. Many of us feel very protective of the breed, and breeds do have to have standards that need to be protected, without a standard there is no breed! Instead of seeing us as protective, many of you only see us as haters, I just don't understand this.
There are some breeders of tricolored dogs who are going about the beeding of them that I believe is the right way to do it, but this thread isn't really about that, it's about this:

I disliked the fact that other name breeders retained this type of control, but now I understand that it's necessary to retain control of where my dogs end up. A quality breeder's biggest fear is that our dogs will end up poorly cared for or in a puppy mill.
I'm happy that you love your new boy, and I do hope that you breed him wisely and for the betterment of the breed. Marshall is capable of producing wonderful puppies when bred to a quality bitch and if you understand what qualities he brings the table. |
Good breeders of partis should understand that last statement throughly, and I hope they are protective of their lines.
