Hate to put that out there; I can just see some bright whippersnapper, creating a whole host of appealing marketing terms for themselves. |
Not quite that easy to set up a NP - but I see what you're saying and I agree to a certain extent.
RE: marketing terms: yeah, that could happen to.
I guess I wish I could see people focus on breeding high quality dogs of exceptional health (Yorkies for us Yorkie lovers) and quit tearing each other down over things like terminology. I do hate to see some of these websites where people have bred the teenie-tinies into some freakish looking thing. So sad. So yes, some people should be tore down, but many shouldn't. Give people the benefit of the doubt first is my motto.
