I think this is exactly why YT is such an important resource, and why we should really value our members. Especially the ones who have put their whole hearts into the breed, and learned some lessons the hard way or through experience. Most people don't have "experts" at their fingertips, that can guide them through the process of picking a breeder, buying, rescuing, showing, breeding, health problems, testing, treatments, training, and loss. I guess the list could go on and on, but if we all keep educating each other and the people who want to know, then maybe less people will want to buy a 5-8 week old puppy.
