That's my point fbkeays, when a person asks for the impossible, then that is what you get, the impossible. In other words, what's good for the gander should be good for the goose.

This whole thread started off looking for the Mr. Perfect Stud muffin. Diane is looking for all these criteria, yet when push comes to shove, Diane doesn't want to hear about her own lines. I'm not saying they are bad at all. What I'm saying is that she is putting down other lines for this reason and that reason but not taking into consideration that maybe, just maybe the stud dog owner may not want to breed to her bitch because of "this reason or that reason". That train of thought can run both ways and shouldn't it? After all, isn't that what breeding is all about? To improve upon the breed? So when she is looking for her perfect stud dog, why not look for that perfect bitch too?

This is in no way a slam against Diane or to her dogs or her dogs lineage. I'm just trying to express (and what Diane is asking for) that there is no way in hell that anyone can come up with that perfect dog/bitch. Breeding within the standard, having all health clearances and temperament (which should be in the standard) then one has a better chance of achieving that goal. That's all I'm trying to say.
