#but you cant complain about the lack of type and consistency and vilify linebreeding in the same breath

[bas-rouge]

There is a large part of me that wonders whether the frankly insane amount of DQs in the Beauce standard are an attempt to compensate for the obvious lack of 'type' and consistency in the breed (not that it matters, since dogs with major faults and DQs are put up anyway). But so many Beauce breeders in particular are just allergic to linebreeding/inbreeding/whatever you want to call it, which is where you get consistency and 'type' from to begin with. Like you can't have it both ways, imo.
