I understand your emotion but it's just not fair for the reputable show breeders who preserve this breed so those like you can enjoy it get criticized and scrutinized rather than appreciated. JMO |
"So those like you" that's a little rude. I don't think I commented on the number of litters one has, but rather how they were treated once they were here. Well, since my babies are rescues from BYB, I would have to agree that it is shame that there are too many BYB's and far too few great breeders out there. I'm sorry if it bothers you that I call out what I think is a bad practice. I don't care whether a dog is comes from a top show breeder or a puppy mill, I don't think caging is in the best interest of ANY animal.
I have to say, after reading more and more of this,I am agreeing with Wylie's Mom. I see a lot of excuses for things the "great show breeders" do that would get the not so great breeder crucified on these boards.
