If you needed brain surgery, you could go to a doctor who has spent many years studying the brain, has worked with other doctors, and had proven to others his qualifications to do surgery. Or you could ask a friend, who is good with tools, and has read a few websites on brain surgery. Which would you choose, or in some cases, which have you chosen? While breeding isn't exactly brain surgery you are creating a life, and that life will have an impact on many other lives, it's not the same as creating a new "product" that can be disposed of easily if nobody likes it. Only support those breeders who have actually studied the subject thoroughly, have spent time with other breeders/mentors who were themselves experts, and have proven to others that they have the qualifications to be a great breeder. |
