Yes, she didn't like my opinion on someone breeding purebred cats, so
she's decided to crosspost all of her responses to me now. Sorry - I
shouldn't go to the whacko cat group. I just hated the AR crap they
were all spewing at the OP.

AR people are such whackos. And they refuse to acknowlege that there are a
hell of a lot of GOOD breeders out there taking great pains to eliminate
the genetic crap, and not over populate.

Speaking of which, I just sent in Tuck's Cardiac OFA and his CERF to be
registered for his breeder.
Bad breeders won't spend $130 each for OFA hips + $15 to enter it in the
database. $30 for OFA Cardiac + $15 to enter it in the database
$130 for OFA thyroid + $15 to enter it in the database
$30 for OFA Patellas + $15 to enter it in the database, $75 for OFA Elbows
+ $15 to enter it in the database
$200 for OFA kidneys + $15 to enter it in the database and $32 for CERF
testing, + $12 to enter it in the database

It adds up. These were all tests requested of me by the breeder as progeny
follow up to insure she's breeding healthy dogs and catches any mistakes,
so it can be eliminated from the gene pool.

You don't see any randomly bred animal having any effort at all to
eliminate genetic defects, nor having progeny tracking.
AR people and anti-purebred people are ignoring what the good breeders are
doing, and through ignorance, lumping all breeders into the same group.
I'd like to know why they think backyard breeders who let their animals
select their own mates with no accountability nor responsibility, and no
contracts to return any unwanted offspring to the breeder are such hot
stuff.

The answer is, they are ignorant
a GOOD breeder is putting NOTHING into the shelters, and breeding animals
that have a lifetime of healthy animals.

I put a dog down two weeks ago at nearly 15, who had never had any more
than routine maintenence her entire life.
