Working type vs Show type = is there a middle ground? Or is ‘Show type’ moving too far away from the actual breed standard? Are all aspects of the “breed standard” these days being taken into account? Not just by breeders, but by judges, who by design, are there to guide breeders through experienced observation and critique.
“We will have different opinions and come to different conclusions—and that is completely fine. What matters is to continue respecting each other and separating issue from person. People must stop attaching mocking labels and attributes to one another. History has shown time and again that today’s truth can be tomorrow’s lie. The truth we see today is based on what we know right now; later on, we may know more, know something different, develop our knowledge, and be able to draw other conclusions. If you also discuss with those who disagree with you in a factual and respectful way, you will develop yourself more than you think—as long as both of you show each other respect and separate issue from person.”
