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. |
Ok I think I get it now... it is not that breeders state they have puppies on YT.. it is pretending they are just owners.. and then on the sly PM to uneducated buyers... ( sorry I missed the point before.) In that case I agree.. watch out for breeders who pm.. but if a good breeder who is upfront and honest also pm and the buyer is smart enough to sift through and connect that is oK -- the buyer has to be smart enough to find the good breeder?
