I feel the need to say this too...I don't have a personal problem with 99% of the breeders on this forum. There are a few that I do because I feel like they are harming animals by what they are doing, but I just don't spend much of my time thinking about breeders on here as individuals. I usually think of breeding in general and give my opinions on breeding in general...very little of the time do I ever have a specific breeder on my mind. I have had friends that have bred their dogs or currently still breed...there are many breeders on this forum I personally like. I may not 100% agree with someone's breeding practices, but that doesn't mean I don't like them or can't be friends with them. If anyone feels like I don't like them, ask me! If someone wants to hear it, I will be honest about my thoughts about them personally or even so far as their breeding program if they ask and want to know...otherwise, I just don't think much about it.
I am very passionate when it comes to this breed and breeding and I would like to see everyone do it a certain way so I post about how I feel it should be done. But just because a breeder doesn't do everything I say I want done, doesn't mean I can't like them as a person...I may not buy a puppy from them but that doesn't mean I can't be friends with them.
