But I hope you would agree that there's a difference between not breeding
for something and then not seeing it in the progeny, and breeding for

In some ways I find the second scenario more disappointing than the first.
Since my dogs are first and foremost family members chosen to do the
performance events I want I would find it disappointing if they didn't want to
do the things I enjoy. If my making a living depended on the dog doing what it
was bred to do and couldn't perform that would be worse.



But, in either endeavor, your odds of getting
what you want go WAY down if you stop selecting for it altogether.



Sort of like the American Show Shepherd breeders being surprised when their
dogs can't do schutzhund or SAR or a number of other things that most (but not
all) of them are not breeding for.
