Why do you think they look that way? So far off what the standard for the breed calls for? Because there are so many people out there breeding any two dogs "with papers" that physically possess the ability to reproduce and not giving a squat what they look like in the end, only what price they pulled for it...and they probably got more because they saved on testing and offered full registration so that Joe Schmo down the street could get one, no questions asked, and breed...because it's his right if he paid for it...starting the cycle all over again. Forget the genetics, forget what happens after the dog leaves...sad, really.
I realize you don't agree w/ the s/n agreement that many breeders require, but can you at least to some extent see why it is done in many cases? If I require our pups to be altered, at least I know the pups that I poured my blood sweat and tears into won't be a contributing factor to that problem.
