I agree. I came here to learn from the knowledgable people here. I love to hear several different opions from the people who have it. On the other hand I think it is unfair that us newby's are treated this way, because we ALL were newby's at one time or another, and at some point we ALL decided to breed our dogs, just because we are new to it doesn't mean we cannot ever be really good and sound breeders. It is going to take mentoring and support for that to happen. When I see some people treating us like we are carelessly trying to make a buck or whatever else it makes me sick.
The people who do not even reach out to knowledgable forums and such are the ones that can be totally devastating to this breed. Even more so than us just starting out. At least we are trying to learn all we can, which is the opposite of neglectful.
And I don't understand the comment about P.M.-ing people for advise, how are we supposed to know who is a silently knowledgable breeder?(there are 40,000 people on this forum) We are new, if you know things than speak up sometimes and let us know you guys even exist. Like BJH, she has put herself out there and that's how I know to ask her through P.M.'s if needed for advise.
As far as the people who judge us by a single post we have made, that is unfortunate.
