"My point is, there are others ways to go to reach the very same goal."
Like? I'm ignorant on this.
I myself cannot think of a better way to get to know a breed and get into touch w/ it's standard than to see and put my hands on these dogs that supposedly "conform to standard" than to go to a dog show. These are quite beneficial traits that are necc. to know that what you are producing is within standard. Not just read a manual, but also see and feel finished products. Honestly, if you know of another way-they must exist-or even a better way, please inform me!
I've been known to be wrong on a thing or two (you won't hear me say that often, so take it while ya can! lol) but honestly, what ways are you proposing?
Please dear god don't say "Trial and error" because I really liked what I had for breakfast and don't need to see it again. Oh, and I'm drinking a pepsi right now and would like to keep IT off MY keyboard! LOL
