Let's start with dogs in my breed who have disqualifications... Or dogs in any breed with bad temperaments, or lacking in breed type, or... or... I can go on and on and on.. It's not being elitist - its being realistic! Unfortunately, we have a lot of people in the sport of purebred dogs that like to look through rose colored glasses.. Not that there is anything wrong with that..... (thank you Evan!)...
