>> I have watched over the years with dogs and cats how this type of selective breeding can give you the results that you want but only end up in causing problems. If you want examples of the cats and dogs look at your basic persian, with it's eyes set further forward than its nose and the problems with breathing etc. With dogs you could site the German shepherd dog which has massive problems with its spine and hips. Why not admire the original and not strive for mutations because you can charge more for them. >>

I think this thread is going to die fast and/or lead into flaming like crazy. Everyone has their own reasons for breeding morphs or even normals...some are in it just for the money and some are in it for the beauty that morphs create. Now when we have a persian ball python..then I might have a problem.

Besides...They won't let me own a wolf or a cheetah here...so unforuntately I have to stick with my fluffy toy poodle.
