"Tone" is such a tricky thing to interpret via the typed word.
I truly think maybe there was some misunderstanding that you were planning to breed your guy at only 8 months. I read your OP again and see that you didn't state it specifically, but do see how maybe that impression was drawn.
I truly don't think that anyone meant to offend you or imply that you were an irresponsible owner, soon to be breeder. I think others were just offering advice. I hate to see that it was taken as criticism instead.
I am glad to see that you are not upset and are taking in all that you are given. I have found that even advice that I don't completely agree with gets me thinking about things that I never considered before sometimes.
