Her dogs may be very beautiful but it just doesn't seem ethical to me at all to knowingly breed a health issue. I just don't get it. I probably would've sent her the meanest nastiest email ever! Lol. And I'd probably take it further than that too. I just don't like breeders who don't have a sense of ethics and who don't put health first when it comes to breeding. |
You would be surprised. Breed standards have really messed up so many breeds. There are German Shepard that win shows and can hardly walk. They have done terrible things to the breeds that have the squashed like faces. Sometime the standard and show breeding has really messed some dogs up.
