COLD, HARD TRUTH..."CULLING" THE LESS THAN DESIRABLE.....BREAKS MY HEART.......I was absolutely stunned and amazed, shock and awe, when I was told years ago, that, "For goodness sake, if you ever have a baby that has.... (a long list of things that are "a bad mark on a breeder") these are things you just keep your mouth shut about...you dont broadcast that because people will think you have poor quality dogs that throw (whatever it is you are hiding)....you just have to cull those pups, or you can pay a vet to put them down....". I was stunned and shocked into disbelief....and among the things "we cull", were any parti colored pups.....
