That was my argument, but I'm a trainer, not a breeder. I don't see how a breed is ever improved it that statement is true. I didn't think of asking you. You explain things in terms I can understand.
Yes, a breed can be improved. Look at it this way, there a lot of really good dogs that come from mediocre breedings.That tells you that even a mediocre breeding has the genetics to build on. You take two of these dogs that came from mediocre breedings and work on them to build a line of prepotent dogs by close linebreeding. Let's face it, those dogs with great pedigrees were just average dogs until someone took the time to make them great.
Ignorance can be fixed but stupid is forever.
