WHEWWWWWWWWWWWW. i ain't even going to say anymore because I am a breeder who has never seen the show ring, don't intend to as far as I know, might someday have champion lines and many well known names on my pedigrees . I have sold my puppies to people that are planning on TRYING them in the ring and it's not been by me telling them to. In fact, it's the other way round because I wouldn't know a show dog from any other nice one. I know I have seen some show dogs, I wouldn't buy and wondered why in the world is that dog in the ring. because of all that, when the threads take this direction about who should sell, who should breed and etc I tend to take this stuff way too personal. i usually try to stay out of these threads because I would say way too much since I feel like I am one of those being talked about in these threads and it could turn ugly. i happen to think there are a lot of knowledagable breeders and well respected breeders that are not show people and have just as much right to breed as the show people do. you all have to forgive me tonight. I have already said more than I intended . I am turning off for tonight.  |
The original post was not vaguely mentioning show/breeding as the titles of the thread says Looking for good/show quality male. To me that did NOT say hi I am looking for a cute pet.
No one said he wasn't cute, but this is not a show quality.
If you were involved directly in shows, you would know a lot of stuff you don't understand or know now.
Anybody has the right to do as they wish and you certainly are entitled to your opinion, however, the reputable show breeders have a right to their opinions as well and what we think of people who breed without showing and sell show dogs without knowledge of the shows.
Note: I didn't name a name, not going to. Whatever category you think you fit into is up to you.
