First off, if you can find where I gave bad advice to the OP, please point it out. Unlike some people I've run accross, I generally keep my mouth shut when I don't know what I'm talking about. And for the record--and I can only speak for myself as a general statement--do not ever assume you or anyone else has any clue as to what I "do not apparently know very much about." I can assure you, it didn't take long at all before I figured out it wasn't the best idea to make my breeding practice an open book on an online forum--another reason why I took down my website. I have seen those that have be taken through the mud, be in the middle of controversy, scandal, stalked, sued, you name it. Seems like the only think it would accomplish by letting it be known is it would provide people with something to analyze and criticize and to be honest, I have no desire for that kind of crap in my life, thanks just the same. Just because I don't actively show, don't for a second assume I've never set foot at a show or in a ring for that matter or that I don't know and work with accomplished, seasoned show breeders.

I don't believe anyone here challenged these two show breeders as far as their breeding/showing ethics, experience, advice and knowledge are concerned.

And from the drama and confusion that has taken place here, I can see why.

I agree. On many occasions I have enjoyed and learned from posts made by these show breeders and others. Does that mean I have to agree with EVERYTHING they say? No, it doesn't.
This all started because someone made a general statement about something that had NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD OR ANYONE HERE and I agreed. I don't know how many times I have to say that before it sinks in.
That attitude of superiority is one that I have run across and I believe it is a load of crap....it has nothing to do with the posters here necessarily.
