This thread has gotten much better in that it has stepped away from the personal assaults. For that I am glad, not only for the primary posters but for the others that read this and get an idea of what we are about.
I have gotten so much information from this thread however one thing that I have pulled out of it is how much many of us truly believe (and I'm trying to figure out the best way to word this so I don't offend) the high ethics of breeders everywhere. Most talk a good game and I believe, have EXTREMELY HIGH INTENTIONS. I know this because I bred Min Schzs for many, MANY years. "Breeding is done to better the standards. Breeding for the good of the line. Breeding to strengthen. Breeding for health." Breeding, etc. etc. etc. If every breeder really was doing that then pups would NOT be placed until they are neutered or spayed. Trust me, it's not cheap but I have done it before but then again, we aren't in it for the money, right? That responsible breeder would STOP an inferior line for potential breeding. We can say we register them "limited" but that little word does NOT stop them from being bred. It's the equivalent of a piece of paper with a restraining order that you can through at your attacker. It does no good. There are some that breed that could give a rat's keister about registration. They are in it for the money. ISN'T THAT the best way to stop those puppy mills and BYBs? |
