Marcus will start showing this summer in conformation. If he does well we'll leave him un-neutered and offer him at stud. However we already have people wanting to use him and here's where I find myself in a quandry. I don't mind saying no if he turns out not to be good enough but what about the females? If there are obvious faults I don't want to help perpetuate them by encouraging someone to have a litter but at the same time I don't know how to politely tell someone that IMO their female shouldn't be allowed to breed.
Don't get me wrong I have never met a chi or a part chi I didn't think was wonderful. I'm so sold on the breed I love everyone of them and actually if they weren't perfect I wouldn't care cause if they were sold as pets with a limited registration and a spay/neuter contract then I would be happy but I wouldn't be in control of that part of things. I feel like I'm acting like a snob and that certainly isn't what I want to do.
