It has not affected the ones who enjoy showing and remember not all that show have a desire to breed.

As for the crossbreds, a lot of those breeders are not in it for the health of the dogs or compatibility of the breeds, their main goal is how much they can charge.

It is such a generally held opinion that it is frightening. It doesn't matter how often you try and explain it it sticks.
Its very like having a 1 in 4 chance of a child having a genetic condition and thinking that because you have one child with it the next three will be OK----I have known several people get caught by that one.

But most people dont really care , all they want is a dog , and the opinion that is more common is the ...i dont need a KC registered dog, because all I want is a pet, and see no need to pay double for a pet.

It is often more than a KC pedigreed dog.
