Speaking to another adult, that you know nothing about, as if they were idiots, is rude no matter how you try to justify it.
Who are these people to tell another adult that they should not be breeding, is rude. Who are they to tell somone that has bred their dog, that they should take the dog in for an emergency spay, just because they are not an experienced breeder. It is really none of their business.
And which is worse, breeding a healthy dog, or unnecessarily aborting a healthy litter of pups. And what kind of vet would do that unless the mother was in danger? My vet certainly would not.
In my opinion, that is speaking to the person like she is to ignorant to know when her dog might be in danger. And that is rude no mattrer how you pin it. |

. When you are being intentionally rude, maybe I don't view you as being rude...maybe I see it as blunt, helpful, proactive. I agree that only you (and each of us, of ourselves) can know your own intent.
But that goes both ways...RhettsMama posted some things earlier that you saw as rude. And there is nothing wrong with your interpretation. I happened to see it as not rude. And she said her intent wasn't rude.
I guess my point is...you said you know when your intent is to be rude, so wouldn't others know their own intent too...even if it was different than how you perceived it?
Hope that all made sense...hard to explain what my thoughts were
