I'm sorry you feel like people are against you, I was trying to share why waiting longer is important for the wellbeing of the dogs. I certainly didn’t want you to feel attacked for your choice. While I support the YTCA, I do not believe that all members are breeding for the right reasons, and truthfully, it would bother me more if a YTCA member sold a dog before the recommended minimum of 12 weeks, than a non-member. The reason is that they have agreed to abide by the ethics and code of conduct of the club, and they obviously are ignoring this rule, it makes me wonder what other shortcuts they take.
