Everybody has their own reasons and standards for anything they do.
Me I enjoy working with beautiful animals and feel rewarded when my time and effort have something to show for it. I am not expecting to make a profit, I am not expecting to have the ultimate collection. I do however believe in keeping the best data possible on the animals I choose to work with. And I will disclose that data to anybody that is interested in working with animals I produce. And I understand that not every animal can be traced back to a WC founding animal any more, so we lower the standard and call them a "line". And as far as that goes it seems to work OK for the most part. However all this time spent here pissing in each other cheerios is getting us all nowhere. So I will support Steve’s notion that any breeder should readily disclose there standards and expectation for locality and add to that notion that a line is something else not to be confused with exact locality data... I know most of us work with both and that many lines are locality derived, and all that is just fine as long as the records are there and the data is passed along.
