RE: [pyrnet] Chat: What is considered back yard breeding?

["Sariena" <s.foley@sympatico.ca>]

Here's a link that describes it well in my opinion. Except maybe, the
"indoor dogs only" statement. I think that differs with breeds.

http://www.nopuppymillscanada.ca/back_yard_breeders.htm
and
http://www.nopuppymillscanada.ca/reputable_breeders.htm


But I do not think that a blanket statement such as : > 4. 	Litters born on
a ranch or farm, and then sold to individuals.> is fair. I'm sure there are
allot of reputable dog breeders who also farm. JMO.
Plus allot of breeders feel that a dog does not have to be shown in
Conformation to be considered breeding quality, as long as it is proven  in
the job that it was origionally bred for. (dogs who have earned titles in
say "Springer/field trials" Or GSD/Schutzhund, herding, Lure coursing
etc.)Of course it also must conform to the standard, and hips, eyes cert.
etc
What do the breeders on this list think of this belief?
