I am saying that to breed a dog that yes they have to be healthy(OFA certified) and well tempered.
I just have to mention that again, because I think some missed it. I would never by any means say breed a dog because it looks good and can do it's job right.
The Husky situation was only hypothetical.
I bought my Shih-tzu/Lhasa Apso from a BYB, and he has never had a single problem with his health. He has never had to be brought to the vet for anything, other then routine shots.
My Akita I bought from a breeder (he's 10 months), with champion lines and OFA certification. Well something is wrong with his back left leg and we are unsure right now what it is.
My Alaskan Malamute/Pitbull is a rescue from a careless dog owner. She is young right now but no problems at all.
I just think standards to breed do need to be tightened. I can understand why you don't want to breed white boxers, dobermanns and german shephards, I've read up on that. I would not want those passed down either.
I just think a few of the other things are superficial. Like a grey spot. I just think it the dog is proven in every other way it would be okay.
There are so many breeders out there right now, that I would never want to go into it anyway. I don't want to contribute, even if it is to better.
I will stick with helping rescues and abandoned dogs.
I just think the standards do need to be tightened and just see different means of tightening.
