You know, Lisa...just because by definition it fits, that doesn't mean anyone thinks you are bad...I just think that we don't realise BEFORE reading up and studying the breed closely that AKC registration can be given to ANY dog...in fact, there are documented cases of the dog down the street getting to the purebred female BEFORE the stud that was scheduled and picked...and those people passed the pups off as purebreds, even though they knew perfectly well they weren't...used the intended studs name on the cert and just went with it...heavy health testing is important to ATTEMPT to weed out problems...It is believed that Whites will produce more whites and the higher the genetic input, teh higher the likely hood of deafness, blindness, etc...and those pups are often thrown out by society...so, people here get passionate about it, cause they have seen those pups pay the price...
ON THE OTHER HAND...we have "good breeders" who get SO wigged out by their dog throwing a white that they will dispose of it like trash rather then let anyone know "THEIR DOG" threw a white pup...I think the case could be made for a SERIOUS CHARACTER FLAW in that "good breeder who did her testing"...so, please don't assume this is a judgement of WHO YOU ARE or YOUR CHARACTER AS A PERSON!
