Quality of breeding stock

[Anatopism]

I'll let you finish reading for my explanation





Or, to sum it up:
A standard won't work, as the opinions differ to greatly.
Labeling up front can help visualize for new breeders the difference.
It's not meant to STOP people from breeding pet quality, but if it makes them think about quality AT ALL, it's done it's job (for me).
This is just something *I* want to use on my personal website, I don't think everyone needs or should have to, call it an experiment

HAha thanks. I caught up between listening to powerpoint training stuff for work, then saw this after. I don't think it's a -BAD- idea at all I'm just afraid that if it were to become a 'standard' in the industry, then we are faced with other issues... or a system that is too specific for the nature of the hobby, that it creates a too rigid or limiting experience down the road. Like people who insist that butters are better than lessers simply because of their line, blind to the individual animals, for example. I've had multiple people give me a 'standard' for what they say a butter is, then when they see my lesser girl, insist she is a butter (she's not)... and love how she looks.. but once they learn she's a lesser, she's suddenly less desirable. It's silly. I'd like to see more focus on the individual animal
