I'm sorry, but IMO Mary is right on this one. I'm not and never could be a breeder, so I look at things through a buyers eyes.
I think breeding practices are MOST definitely a reflection on character. It's a matter of perspective and and the ethics and practices of a breeder are what any buyer has to evaluate and judge who they are looking at to purchase a pet.
You don't breed AKC, you cross breed, you don't test your dogs, etc..
If you looked at the sum total of your comments to people on this post alone, in my mind I would conclude that you breed for profit. It's not about showing, it's not about betterment of the breed. Your reason is you enjoy it
It just sounds like a lot of excuses and rationalizing breeding practices that many don't agree with.
