I don't feel like it is right to post a private e-mail on a public forum. I do agree that perhaps people should be more careful before they write things..I've been thinking about this more over the past few days.
I'm not sure I understand the "vicki should have reviewed the breeder and left it alone" because that's really all she did. She did post a thread asking opinions on if she should reveal who her breeder and another thread about the check she was given and how long it would take to clear, but other than that she only did review the breeder. The rest of her threads have been about Bleu...not at all about his breeder. She posted about him and his condition. So I don't know where the idea came from that she's posted so many threads about the breeder because she hasn't. She did post a review. She didn't even say much...she said "This is Bleu's breeder" and gave the name, kennel, location, etc. And she stated his congenital defect. She did reply to some comments made and agreed on a few things, but she certainly NEVER bashed this breeder at all. I see that she only stated her personal experience and agreed with a few people's opinions. She only went into details on her experience with this breeder when the breeder posted details.
I know Vicki and have heard of her experience with Bleu several times. She has never bashed this breeder to me either. I truly think it's important for people to tell of their experiences with breeders (both bad and good) so that other buyers can make an informed decision.
I also think that a lot of responsibility lies in breeding. I truly believe that breeders have a responsibility to breed healthy dogs to the best of their ability and to produce quality dogs that meet the standard. Breeders have a LOT of responsibility. If a breeder isn't breeding healthy, "show quality" dogs then they are not being responsible. (and by "show quality" I don't necessarily mean you have to show...but your dogs should be of show quality).
I really wish that people wouldn't automatically get defensive when they are told something they don't want to hear. Sometimes people need to take a step back and realize that some things being said are true..even if they don't like it or its not convenient for them.
