RE: poor judgement in breeding
And who says they that they will have the good points of their parents and not their weaknesses?
To establish a new breed, you have to keep experimenting and culling for a long time. You can' t tell what you have until the dog is about 3. Buying one of those dogs is a crapshot.
They were doing the same with Springers and brits a while back and selling them as spritannys. Did some smart advertising, like " pups from AKC registered parents" or so.
