I couldnt agree with Felicity more there is no degree on breeding so at the end of the day most info is based off "textbook reading" and most on hands on experience and i definitely agree that hands on is the best knowledge to have |
I am sorry, you misunderstood. I was not criticizing you decision to work with YOUR vet in the least bit. I believe that both you and your vet have gone above and beyond what most in you situation would.
Please reread my comment about being cautious who you were taking advice from:
It always make me cringe when I see people with very....questionable....breeding ethics jumping in to encourage people and give them breeding advice. Often times people who shouldn't be breeding in the first place, much less advising others on how to do it! It wasn't really about just vets, or your vet in particular.
Also, I believe the comment about the degree was meant to insinuate that vets are a better source for info because they have degrees and breeders don't. Of course, a large part of breeding requires plain old common sense--which no degree can give you and which many people seriously lack.
