Of course a well respected breeder as such should not be taken lightly. When asked..... I've done my research on the breed using web sites that are available through reputable breeders. But in my opinion, sometimes they can go to far. They comment on threads that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. And some people can be just down right Nasty !! Weather they are the reputable breeder or just some Jo Shmoe who has nothing better to do.
It is totally uncalled for...
Before thinks get to far off topic. I want to thank everyone who actually gave me "useable advise" on stud fees.
I also want to thank you for the information on the breeders here in Ohio. It could turn out to be very helpful in the future.
I know in my heart that I breed for the right reasons CAN YOU SHARE WITH THE FORUM WHAT THOSE REASONS ARE BECAUSE IS SOUNDS LIKE CHEAP PUPPIES? and that I take great pride in doing so.... I am a good person and I consider myself to be a Responsible Breeder. You all can say whatever you want, it won't change who I know that I am and what I do !! |
Several members have expressed - perhaps in too heated a tone in your opinion - concern over your intentions. If you are not familiar with how a forum works it might be a bit overwhelming to be bombarded with so many strong opinions. Members are allowed to openly and freely express those opinions and by asking questions on a forum you open yourself up to that possibility. What's unfortunate is that often times the OP just goes on the defensive and cannot even absorb the opinions given because they are too offended at the tone of those responses.
One thing I notice, although you have stated that you are comfortable in your decision to breed, you don't explain what you have done to take all the necessary precautions. Has your male had the requisite testing? Has the female? "Doing research on the breed on web sites" is not enough to educated yourself on the complexities of breeding. I'm sorry you can't seem to weed through the emotions to understand that. Or so it appears to me. But as you've made clear - nothing will change your mind.
