> Who will be a friend to the ethical breeder? > Jane Kerner Jane, you are hilarious and.... wonderful! I suspect that the focus becomes one of restrictions that apply to the ethical breeder and we should not allow our code to stop what we have going.... The breed is, in my opinion, (which does not count for much) in good shape because of the conscientious efforts of the Janes of the breed. We are making progress... The objective must be to empower the continuing efforts of those who are doing good things without stopping our progress by moving our parameters inward to the point of defined mediocrity. The focus on parameters is for those few who do not care, do not know and do not listen. Defined Mediocrity - NO! Careless ignorance - NO ALSO!
