It was actually Linda B. that asked the question first, but the way it was asked was "who would....?". I think she got one yes out of a couple of thousand readers. Truth be told, I don't understand breeding to a dog/bitch who has DQs or serious faults or anything that is undesirable with the possible exception of a dog who has perhaps injured an ear (????). As far as the health issues, I think we've pretty much established none are linked to a white masking gene so I don't understand why those are continuously brought up along with the whole white thing. Study pedigrees, test and as much as possible stay/breed away from health issues. I ask people all the time "why" they did a breeding. I usually plan a few generations out and I love getting into the mind of others that do as well.
