Re: [AlpacaTalk] not BEW
Ok, how about this example? I know of a yearling male, nearly two years old. From a very famous sire. Has a pretty noticable wry mouth. Has placed very well at halter shows, including 2 blue ribbons at level 5 shows under big name "influential" judges. Now, why is this animal placing at all? Sure, his teeth line up properly to his dental pad, but aren't the judges supposed to be looking at more than that?
Of course, if the judges reward animals with serious defects such as this, why not breed him? Surely he wouldn't have done so well at shows if there was something wrong with him, right?

I mentioned that in our stud service contract we ask the owner of the dam to state that the dam is not related to, nor has any progeny with defects.
