interesting mirka
I wonder if a breeder should be ashamed more if his female is too "big" or "heavy" or if he should be ashamed if his male is too "small" and "feminine"?
Personally I have a very small female and although she has got Hip displasia even if she didn't I'm not sure if I would have used her. I wonder how many others have the same "criteria".
Not many I think.
I'm not speaking "only" about Height but of Masculine looks and bones.
I remember so much critisism about using Cutt who was too short (64,5cm), but he didn't give the majority of "short" sons.
I agree with the critisism that he was used too much, this I agree surely.
But Cutt is a Male, strong male, looks and behaves like a male.
I've seen some breeders use males who really looked not masculin at all (and they were "just" over the limit!).
"Maybe" what's important are the results: if a breeder done well or bad we can only now it after, not before.
Otherwise many many breeders shouldn't be allowed to breed, and I'm not only speaking about Italy of course....
