You definitely can say you only sell limited. Can you imagine how many emails you would get daily from people who think they have "what it takes" and don't know a topline from a brisket? Don't know what a stop should look like or how leg feathering should look? Or how to pottytrain? (I'm so serious unfortunately.) If someone approaches you looking for a limited puppy and you're super impressed, then you might offer them open on your terms. For a busy breeder, mentoring can be harder than it's worth sometimes and I wouldn't want people asking me to do it every five minutes. |
My whole point is they should be willing to give others a try they obviously got the chance from somewhere so they should be willing to give the chance. as well. Im not saying everyone who wants to should be given full registration just those that are intereested should be given the chance to try. and yes if that is raising a limited puppy first etc then so be it. but if they so wish to try to prove themselves as possible good dog breeder then they should be given the chance.
