Comment to 'Dogs Lose Their Talents'
  • I doubt if many breeder will focus on the dogs working traits over their appearance. There is too much money to be made. I call them puppy peddlers. Many do not know or care what the standards are. They breed for size or rare colors. They can sell an exaggerated size dog and tell the uninformed public they’re supposed to be this way. They sell rare colors and exotic marking as rare and unique. Again the public believes that they are get something special and are foolishly paying more for that dog. If they only knew it a pet quality dog. It still may be a great dog but it has disqualifying faults. The lure of making $1000 or more off of this their prized pet and now money maker and dreams they will breed it.
