What I have found is that most people who are breeders today started before the close knit circle of breeders became practically closed. From the breeders I have talked to, most will admit that the politics have taken over. And that today, that is the "thing" to do. Closed reg. so that no one else can breed your puppies that you are selling. Some really do breed strictly for the betterment of the breed and such. Others just hopped on the band wagon and are doing that because the rest of the breeder world is closing their registration.
Honestly, I hate it when I get replies from a breeder that automatically states "all my pups are sold on a limited reg.". Makes me think they don't know what they are doing. I would like to think that occasionally they have pups that would be great for breeding and should sell them as such. Same for show quality. But to automatically lump all their pups into "limited reg." makes me think they don't know what they are doing. LOL
