BUUUT, shouldn't the original breeder have stipulations in their contract to protect their lines from outside breedings until the dog is past breeding age? Is this a common practice?
Someone finishes a dog...fine and dandy...shouldn't something be in place to continue to protect that line from unwanted outside breedings? Shouldn't the original breeder still have say so as to who they can and cannot breed with? |
Good question. I have only heard of one breeder for example that does this and that is the owner of the Parkside line (Marie Cardona), but I am quite sure that alot of other show breeders also do it. That is a way to protect their lines they have worked so hard for!
