I absolutely agree with you Misty. I can't believe what I read, and to be blunt it's not just questions (we all have Q's), but bad advise from new breeders. In general, I think there's a careless feeling. One can feel like an oddball for standing out when the majority has shifted (I'm not talking cliques, never been in one, don't care to be). I have to admit, I'll log on and accidentally leave my comp on (we have cable) so it'll appear to someone I'm on all the time lol. But I do log on and sometimes with all the advise on breeding given by breeders and non breeders is just a "turn off". Lord help, if anyone takes offense too bad, I don't mean it.
I know how you feel. Breeder Talk, to me isn't for my entertainment, I actually want to help especially if a mom or puppy is in trouble. Non breeders of course are welcome, I know they learn alot and I enjoy their posts. Most are supportive, some just like to put down breeders or stir the pot.
I've been thankful for Breeder Talk, I post 99.9 percent in this forum. I used to learn alot. I hope everyone continues to. |
