To be honest with you, the breeders have every right to "go easier" and "be more encouraging" on those with cute puppy pictures and and coat dilemmas in other sections because those people are just showing off their PETS. Now when you come down to the breeders section, and say "hey I'm thinking about breeding my unregistered pet quality yorkie" things are clearly going to go differently. Because at that point they are no longer helping you decide which shampoo to use on your puppy, but rather explaining to you the life altering ramifications and expectations of breeding a living breathing being.

Please know that unlike you, I am now definitely heated as are several other members, I'm sure. I have nothing to gain from being on one "side" or another of this debate. The devil's advocate defense only carries you so far.
