- It would make a lot of sense if they would allow neutered and spayed animals
- to compete. Only a fraction of a given line will actually be bred, but
- it shows a stronger line to be able to point to the siblings, children
- of the potential dog to be bred for character traits. This could be especially
- true in the sport and working dog groups.
- Of course I favor letting mixed breeds compete to promote good ownership
- traits, too.
