That is exactly what I am talking about. How can you truthfully breed your male dog to a bitch without people knowing that he indeed has light eyes and therefore the progeny may inherit these eyes and the bitch's owner is wondering why. To me that is altering, plain and simple. I am really surprised that this showed up on this list. How many of you are doing this?

Enhancing. If you were to stop feeding this to the dog, would the eyes go back to yellow? Wouldn't the progeny tend to have lighter eyes or yellow eyes behind them? Would you disclose the fact that they were darker only because of what you fed them? If this was a pet, not to be bred or shown, no problem, however if this is breeding stock or showable dogs, then why would you do this?
