This is mainly the issue of ethics and personal moral standards .

It took many years of hard work, tough decisions, deaths of animals, etc. to create a new breed - the CSV, that would have particular appearance and features. If you bothered to read the history of the breed you might realise that at the military kennel hundreds of dogs were eliminated [*] in the process of selection. It involved a lot of suffering of animals and people.

If people like the breeder of your dogs lightly destroys (for money?) the efforts of many people, don't be surprised that he is considered a barbarian by people who care about the breed. And this has nothing to do with snobbery or "elite club". Just common sense and respect for hard work of people who devoted their lives to the development of the breed.

Still it seems to me from reading this forum that in Britain more people than anywhere else have problems with understanding this simple truth....
I'm sorry to say that, but it looks like plain arrogance
