How well known can someone be here on YT with only 36 posts, most of which are in this thread?
For the record, I am glad that you are happy with your dog and so pleased with your experience. I'd much rather read that than to read someone's bad experience with a breeder any day.
As far as people posting in an attempt to 'eliminate the competition,' I truly do not understand what would make you feel that is the case. Competition how? In the ring? Selling pups? Nancy doesn't breed. I'm not actively breeding right now and don't plan on it again any time soon. Mardelin only has like, 1 litter a year and then is stingy and keeps them all for herself. I am curious as to how you feel anyone is threatened by some kind of competition here.
I understand that you say the types of posts and opinions expressed here are the type that keep you from being a more active member on YT, and you certainly have a right to feel that way. However, these same types of discussions are why many members like YT and think of it as an informative site and hold value in the issues that many people with more experience with the breed bring to light for consideration and discussion. For every person who feels the way you do, there is another person who feels just the opposite.
