I think Zoa said it best, quoting: "I could provide another half dozen sites like this one promoting breeders of whites who also breed for various other unacceptable aberrations of our breed in order to profit from people's desire for the unusual.� As a breeder who works so hard to uphold the Standard, it just makes me sick!!!" And I agree...it makes me sick too. People who breed deliberately for off colors, I have no time for. People who deliberately breed oversized dogs and try to appeal to an uneducated Internet shopper...no time for them either. Really appreciate the Frenchie PC who care enough about THEIR standard to put "NO FAD COLRS" on their web site. You know what I tell people who look for a puppy? LEARN THE STANDARD. Go to a breeder (ANY breed), who breeds to the standard. If they are marketing oversized that, or mini this, or rare colored something else, run like hell. And I don't respect people that do those things. Not that it matters to them I'm sure, they are too busy duping John Q. And now I have to figure out how to make a "NO FAD COLORS" graphic like the Frenchie PC has made and put it on MY website. Zoa, Carolyn, anybody else...want one?
