To be perfectly upfront and honest with you, there are alot of aspects and details regarding your breeding program indicated on both your site and in your post here on YT that people just don't agree with--as a general rule of thumb, not as anything personal. I'm not trying to be mean, just honest as you seem sincerely hurt and confused by some of the comments that have been made. Aspects that bring up red flags, that are common indicators of shady breeders. Does that mean that is the case with you? No, of course not! You stated earlier that you were one of "AKC's Top 25" (whatever that is) so you must be doing something right. But bottom line is, I think that most of the members here have things that they look for in a breeder and things that they don't like to see in breeders and opinions will be made based on how each member individually views the factors involved.
In all honesty, I think this is an issue that should be worked out privately between the two of you at this point.
I feel like there are 'sides' being drawn here and quite frankly, this is an issue that should be handled by just the two involved parties. I can understand both sides of the story and wish you both the best in resolving the issue. |
I agree with this comment. And from what I keep reading on YT there are so many things someone who wants a puppy has to look out for. "designer," "teacups," and more than one breedfor a breeder to raise are all indications of a "shady breeder." I would personally stay away or really question any breeder that has these key terms on their website. Another thing I've noticed to stay alert for are people who have bible qoutes, mention god a lot, or are overly patriotic are; to me it's like they are trying to hide behind these symbols. I'm not saying I'm not religious at all, and I applaud those who are. Just mentioning a few things I've seen on various websites, this in no way shape or form is an attack on any one particular breeder. I also just wanted to clarify why I would be guarded when I see certain red flags on breeders websites.
