I know it is about protecting the lines and not letting them get in the hands of unethical breeders and I understand that. |
The part about being between a rock and a hard place is also about the fact that even if you try your best to get good quality dogs and you happen to get lucky and get one with awesome bloodlines, then you are still looked down on for owning the dog because you didnt put the blood sweat and tears into producing those champs and getting the dog "through the back door", so either way you lose. Everyone wants you to have top quality dogs to use in your breeding programs, but if you do and you dont show, you arent worthy of owning them anyway so maybe that is why I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place being a breeder and trying to do your best to do what is right. I agree that showing is the best way to do it and as soon as I can find someone to help me with it, I will be doing that too. I have come so far and learnt so much on YT and that helps so much also. All you can do it continue to strive to better yourself.
