There is a lot of information in the library and in various "sticky" threads but I see new people come here all the time that apparently never think to do any research on their own. You can direct them to it but it seems some are not really interested in reading very much. They have their particular issue or question and apparently don't have the time or interest to read further.
There are good experienced and reputable breeders here at YT and it would be nice if they would write some articles about purebred breeding and why they need to take the time and expense that they do in order to continue producing quality pups. So many people think you can just take any purebred and hook it up with any other purebred and get some of the same. That kind of breeding results in dogs that eventually look little like the original breed not to mention the health issues it brings forward.
Some people get away with buying a BYB or puppy mill pup and so they think it's all nonsense, totally disregarding educated and experienced breeder's warnings. Most are not so lucky and above all the dogs used for breeding continue to suffer. |
