I don't know what to tell you. Other than, perhaps you should keep doing your homework and visit sites that are more geared towards genetics rather than just breeders experiences.
If these breeders were all doing fabulous things for our breed, that you are siting or holding on high, then perhaps they would be recognized within the parent club at least for being breeder of the year...or something.

ANY breed, if you're wanting to achieve a certain feature, one should look at the lineage. Does that sire/dam have a strong production within it's offspring when bred to certain mates of certain lines to produce the desired trait?
In either case, when coupling, a good breeder will not take an Akita w/ tall ears and breed it to an Akita w/ small ears. Quite the contrary. What will be done is they will have the Akita w/ tall ears and breed it to a dog that is WITHIN STANDARD and has a history of having produced offspring of correct ear size and carriage.

If you breed a Yorkie that is 14 pounds to a Yorkie that is 5 pounds, what you're going to get in one generation is something in the middle, PERHAPS, (this doesn't occur often) but then what you've created, when that flood gate opens and those progeny are then bred are Yorkies that are 14 pounds and Yorkies that are 5 pounds. Unfortunantely ANY quality breeder is looking for what is going to happen down the line genetically and not litter to litter.
