Ah, but Marigold, that means we've always been on the same page. We all are, for the most part, in favor of RESPONSIBLE breeding for the better of the breed. Canine eugenics, I guess you could say. What we are (almost) ALL against is designer breeds. This has always been the stance of most, if not all, PTers.

There never was any disagreement among any of us, from what I can tell. Words can be misunderstood easily

ETA: Many truly responsible breeders who love their breed participate in rescue and fostering for their breed. It's the love of the breed, not love of ribbons or awards. People who truly love their breed will do anything to find homes for each and every dog.
