No one single person can make any changes to their rules..they have to be voted on.
Frankly, I don't get as uptight about advertising as I do the breeders contracts...that really tells the story about who is an ethical breeder to me. I don't care if they are show breeders, hobby breeders (I hate that name by the way) or a byb.... |
It is interesting that you say they can be kicked out, because in another thread when I mentioned that, years ago show exhibitor hobby??????? (I don't know what you want me to call them) breeders, would destroy parti puppies for fear of being kicked out of the YTCA, I was told that was ridiculous to think that YTCA members would fear being kicked out. of course these people were arguing that parti pups were not showing up in champion litters. Which we now know that they most definitely were.
There is so much misinformation on this forum, it is very difficult for a new member to know what to believe.
Most of the misinformation is given in the heat of an argument when everyone is in attack mode and they will say anything to bring down their prey.
I cannot tell you how many times I have been attacked for some comment I have made and then later in another thread, see those same attackers on the other side of the fence.
You have always been a voice of reason, not taking any side, for the sake of peer approval. I respect your comments and advice.
OK so you don't like the term hobby breeders, non exhibitor breeders? where do we fit. Surly there has to be a better term than BYb to describe someone who tries to breed ethically but chooses not to show.
