It is a terrible argument to say thats how it was done then so thats how we will do it now. There is NO excuse for not health testing a dog you are going to bred from.
Luckily we have better ethics and morals these days - which is why trying to start a new 'breed' has so many pitfalls.
But that is how "pedigree" and KC dogs are bred. No tests required, no compulsory DNA... nothing enforced so the breeder can do what they like and still get a KC badge to show they are reputable... (or at least make the public think they are)
... do you not think your anger is pointing in the wrong direction?

I will say again!
...It is the irresponsible people who are breeding them and churning them out for profit making without being 100% truthful to the people who are taking them on!
I have NO issues with crossbreeding -if it is done with proper health and temp testing. I have met some fab Poodle x's (although you would often not know they were a cross) and I have met some nasty ones. The dogs are fine...I get cross with the breeders!

Unless you happen to allow your dog to stick its head out the window
