Breeding Standards

[Eric Alan]

Is it the breeder's responsibility to assume their buyers aren't aware of the known issues with these morphs? It's not like anyone is trying to hide Spider wobble or Caramel kinking (that is variable from animal to animal anyway). When does it become the buyer's responsibility to make sure that they are reasonably informed about their purchase - before or after making that purchase?

I will admit there is a level of absurdity with this example, but there are warnings labels. I have seen people sold things, where it was glaringly obvious that they had no idea what they were getting into. There is both buyer and seller responsibility for things. I have real katana that are hundreds of years old. For those not in the know these blades are also considered living works of art. There are ratings and there are the equivalent of morphs (different smiths with different techniques). Flaws in any blade are annotated and made known even though the buyer is expected to be very knowledgeable about what they are buying.
