I don't understand why a breeder would get upset because someone asked a question or was interested in more or was confused and asked for clarification...regardless to if that person was considering buying a pup or not. Unless they have something to hide or feel guilty about what they are doing for some reason.
What if someone the likes of Jeff Dane with a similar practice came and posted for sale? Should everyone just sit back and leave it up to him to tell and answer only what he wants to? What about a broker or a miller? What kind of information would THEY be willing to divulge. There are many people
who come here looking for a 1st time pet and don't know what to look for and the warning signs. I can only speak for myself, but I think it would be awful to sit back knowing there is a details that the person selling left out that would put a completely different spin on things. I would feel bad if they got the wool pulled over there eyes because the people did catch these things couldn't point them out. |
Excellent post.
Maybe there selling pups shouldn't be allowed at all? That's a quick-fix........no more headaches for admin.
That's not fair, I know. But, not allowing people to educate is not fair either. Now, why in the world would anyone waste their time on here (especially when they don't sell pups on here, and only breed for themselves) be on here?
I believe it's safe to say that because they TRULY love the breed and are all about the breed.
On the other hand, I can see why those that push their pups on ever other post benefit from the featured breeder's section.
Everyone should be entitled to read BOTH sides of everything. No extreme is good.
