I don't want to have any replies saying what I should say to my
friend about this; I already know what I would say if I had the
guts to do so.

I have a friend who breeds her poodles. Her poodles are all
pedigreed, though that means nothing to me. She shows them, and has
won some ribbons and placements. Again, this means nothing to me. I
honestly don't have issues with breeding for the sake of the breed,
whether cat or dog or rabbit or whatever. But (!)...

To me, breeding should only be done (if ever) if both male and
female are perfect, whatever that means. Her female standard poodle
came from champion lines however she has been judged as being non-
show quality due to a broad muzzle (WTF does that mean. She isn't
perfect, but it is her face FFS) Her male standard also came from
champion lines and she is bound and determined to have puppies from
the two of them. Why oh why???  If the female isn't "show quality"
I suspect that she is "hoping" that the male's qualities will be
dominant.  Ugh!  We work together so she is telling me every step
of the way how they are progressing to mating. She tells me
detailed accounts about his "technique" and she set up a web cam to
"spy" on them to see when copulation takes place.  I'm totally
grossed out about it!!

I just can't bring myself to tell her to shut up about the breeding
details because I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT when so many mutts
are dying, and this pair might not create another champion line.

Ok, sorry but I needed to vent because I don't know how to tell her
to her face how I feel.  Call me spineless. I don't care, its how I
feel.
