[QUOTE=wolfy-hound;1144621]Oh yeah! Absolutely true. Especially mismarked poodles(ones that were parti-colored, despite it being the original color for poodles), mismarked boxers, white patched dobermans.. there used to be practically a list of pups that would be put down at birth if they were mismarked, because it was such a black mark against the sire/dam that they threw mismarked dogs.

Same with kittens, mismarked, or not close enough to show perfection, and they'd put them down.

Old school mentality was drown it at birth if it wasn't what you wanted. Unfortunately, it still holds true today, to a lesser and more hidden degree.
