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. |
Point in case.
If they post and answer it's wrong and not what people wanted and they are judgemental, and when they don't then they are criticized and accused of being neglectful. Why would anyone willingly put themselves in that situation?
For the record, I have NEVER here on YT seen anyone here on YT put down or discouraged from breeding or starting out when doing so in a responsible manner. I have however seen people come on here having done little or no preparation for what all breeding entails told that they need to do their homework first. The 'everyone starts somewhere' bit only goes so far. Yes, everyone starts somewhere--it's how you specifically go about doing it that makes a difference--do you proceed in a responsible manner or just jump in blindly?
