After reading your reply, I got out Smith's book. You were right that she was quoting someone else, but your interpretation that it was about poor markings is wrong IMO. Both she and Pitt were talking about picking puppies from a litter to keep for showing. She never said to not discard a pup because of its markings in the paragraph dealing with "champions elbow" or any paragraph in that section. She was talking about "lucky markings" which were thought by some to be omens of future greatness. It's on page 18 in Smith's book, if you want to read it. All the best, Susan Cochran
