I would apply the same standards, yes - but I have to accept that breeders of Kc reg dogs will continue to breed and maybe they should? I for one would be sorry to see lots of breeds disappear although there are a few that in my opinion, should.

Breeding while the rescues are in crisis is a selfish thing to do but some people breed dogs as a hobby - thats what the dog show-world ultimately is and that's how they get their kicks. If the Kc reg breeders continue to breed their show-dogs and are permitted to sell non-show quality excess pups then I don't have a huge problem with them continuing but only when they need a pup for their own purposes and always take full responsibility for the dogs they breed.

I do have a problem with people breeding pets whether pedigree or cross-breeding at the moment as it can only be for money I do not for the life of me understand how someone can put out a litter of pups when there are young, healthy and well-behaved dogs being put to sleep.
