when I refer to faults, I am not refering to genetic/health related faults, like heart murmers, bad kness, ect....no, we never breed those....what I mean is a dog with a cosmetic fault that disqualifies from show. For instance, you have a "rat tail" on an otherwise great dog.....it can be fixed by breeding to a dog with a great tail....one poor ear leather...can be bred to one with great ears, ect....that is what I meant by fixing the faults. No I would never breed one with a health related fault..... Marsha
