RE: poor judgement in breeding
OK, I' ll be the devil' s advocate.[>:]
So someone is breeding dogs to get a certain type of working dog. That is how most of the current breeds were formed. If I' m not " completely" mistaken weren' t Newfoundlands crossed with some of the european hunting dogs in order to get most of the current retrievers. What idiots for having crossbred dogs!
I would like to point out that calling it a pointing lab may be incorrect, because it is not 100% lab anymore, but it might be a wonderful working dog. Before the organized dog shows who really cared if the dog was pure something, they wanted good traits. How is that SO wrong now.
This individual may be an idiot, and I don' t want to defend them personally, but complete condemnation probably isn' t right either.
