And no, I'm not trying to make breeders seem less, I think breeders with the right intentions are great! As long as they stay away from "designer" labels and trying to sell their puppies by saying such and such celebrity just picked up one of our puppies, I see no problem with people breeding within reason.
Thanks Wildcard for your "long post" it was very informative. I had no idea of the costs in show quality dogs. I appreciate you sharing your experience and it shows that you are dedicated to bettering the breed.
