People tell us we should be breeding to standards...well, then that is the short noses.....I personally like a short, but not smushed nose.....I do think the show dogs are getting a bit extreeme....but if you are gonna show, you gotta have what is winning in the ring....and the shorter the better in the ring......if you are breeding, but not showing, you still should be breeding to standards...which is a short nose.......I just recently got a new stud for the sole purpose of trying to improve the nose legth in my line.....well I mean I didnt get a dog for that sole purpose...but I mean, that is the reason I got this particular one.....
