Words are inadequate

Nah, they carry them around in buckets. I have a bit of a hard time taking it all that seriously, but my brother (the marine biologist who manages a huge aquarium shop) says that fish breeding has a few advantages over dog breeding- a good koi can live many decades, produce dozens to hundreds of offspring per breeding, and you can pick the best out of those many thousands as the ones you want to keep, with much less ethical debate than you would with dogs or cats or horses.

But I doubt they have an agility course and very few of the contestants passed obedience school (although they spent much of their lives in schools anyway).
