I tota...Thanks for the kind words about the blog! <br /><br />I totally understand your points. As a huge dog lover as well I know the horrors of what people are doing to certain breeds and designer crosses alike. Even when I was looking for breeders for the dog I wanted (a sheltie) I rejected most of the ones in Florida because they had terrible dogs, weak and feeble-looking from bad breeding practices. I only wanted to make the point that both groups of people will always co-exist, those who breed pures and those who breed crosses. There are unethical, money-driven people on all sides of the spectrum but there will always be people who do one or the other. With the vast majority of professional panther breeders sticking to pure locales, I don't think we have anything to fear from them disappearing! <br /><br />Another point that I don't think I made above is that certain looks we associate with pure locales are purely selective breeding! Take the example of Nosy Be panthers, that brilliant solid turquoise blue is not what you find out on the island of Nosy Be. In the wild their colors lean more towards teals and green-blues, with moderate red freckling. The solid blue that is so coveted today is a product of selectively breeding the bluest of the blue together over and over. It doesn't really represent the locale as it occurs naturally.

The biggest reason I would want lines to stay pure is because I love to keep animals as they are naturally; and then to be able to keep them! Of course, the reason we have so many subspecies of panthers is due to natural cross breeding anyway. So I understand both sides. However, I was upset you made the comparison between Labradoodles and crossed locales. Labradoodles are a poor example, in my opinion, because although a few breeders may strive for the health and well-being of the litter, the fad seems to be about money. Breeders who breed/sell/own either labs or poodles usually do not approve purposeful crosses which is why the dogs used for these crosses do not come from the best lines. I've run into more ill-bred anything-doodles because, unfortunately, they've become so popular many who breed aren't breeding for the right reasons. The "creator" of Labradoodles even wrote/spoke out about regretting the direction the cross has gone. There will probably always be those who like pure lines and those who like crosses. I like pure lines because it preserves a bit of history. There are many breeds of domestic animals that are dwindling, which I believe is very unfortunate. In the natural world those pure lines may not be around forever (for different reasons, not all bad!) - therefore having a line that is pure is an awesome way to look back at what was. Just my thought on the matter. I will also add that some crosses are my favorites to look at but the natural locales would still win out for me because I love the idea of having my own piece of nature inside with me to interact with (that probably sound weird - I like my little zoo!).<br /><br />I really appreciate your informative blog! I just received my first panther and I love researching everything about them. I'm not sure of the locale of mine, I'm hoping he'll color up in the next few months so I can figure it out. All of your information has been presented objectively (when needed) and in a grammatically-correct format! When I think of new things to research, I read through your blog first. Thanks for all the helpful information! I love getting another scholar's point of view on things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667332768834059568.post-6723985201648304222015-04-23T07:30:55.323-04:002015-04-23T07:30:55.323-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452176707372573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667332768834059568.post-39733897774364939502014-03-25T17:54:10.428-04:002014-03-25T17:54:10.428-04:00Hi Bruno.
