As with anything there are dishonest people out there. There are a lot of us that do not dye dogs. I have always felt you have to breed for the whole package. I truly love this breed and it's disheartening when I hear someone claim they breed for structure, or color, or health, or temperament, or pretty.
There is only one purpose of breeding dogs, to improve the breed as a whole. That means as a breeder, you breed for all of the above each and every time you breed together two dogs, you show your dogs to it's championship to validate your breeding program.
