I am happy to hear from someone who is studying genetics and other avenues of health and breeding research whether they breed, are vet students or are studying for some other health related field. |
I agree knowledge is knowledge whether from a book , hands on experience, from a trade school or otherwise. The key here is TACT!! If someone comes on here looking for advice then we should offer any experiences or education we can without judging a person. We all have to start somewhere and this Breeder's Section is a great place full of knowledge. We cannot force feed people our information, they ask for knowledge and all to often I see the being gagged to death by strong rude opinions only to run the other way non-educated. I truely wish those with such strong convictions would re-read their posts and make them as imformative and non-judgemental as possible. We should be helping those who come here to learn and receive some knowledge from us instead of running them off of making them feel attacked.
