It's not an implication, it's a statement of fact. If a breeder is proud of their work and breeding program, shouldn't they be boasting about it openly on YT? Shouldn't they be happy to show off their pups and field questions from experienced buyers and other breeders? If nothing else, shouldn't they be participating in the education that goes on here at YT?
Now, here comes the implication/opinion part of my statement: To ME, it feels sneaky and underhanded for some breeders here to only offer their pets through PM's. It raises red flags to me that these breeders potentially don't want others to know that they are breeding to less than standard because they know people here can spot it in a heart beat. They don't want to answer questions about the size of the dames, health testing, Ch, etc. because they know they don't measure up.
You asked who was I to put out there that PM's were bad. Well, who are
you to say that this IS the way that breeders should go about it? No, I don't and won't breed because I see far too many badly bred dogs out there and too many breeders with questionable practices cheering each other on. I'm grateful to YT for keeping me from buying one of them.
