Stick to the "fluff" posts about clothing and potty training. |
Hopefully, you will NOT put such limitations on your learning opportunities that are limitless on this forum. Please know there are experienced, knowledgable BREEDERS on this forum that actually do know what they are doing and take their time,not to deliberately show a lack of [I]
"love" to new comers with different wants/views",[/I] but to speak the unglossed, often brutal truth about the pain and heartbreak and expenses associated with doing something you are not prepared for. Please do NOT become so shallow that you bury your head into only the things you WANT to hear, pleasentries that do nothing to
educate you, but only lovingly support your own uninformd approach or view. If that is your method of broadening your learning base, you will find yourself up to your neck in alligators and surrounded with people that know no more than you do, and can offer only sympathy and condolences. Breeding is not "fluff" and should not be approached all warm and fuzzy. Go to dog shows...
talk with professionals about breeding. Dont go get advice on breeding from brokers or back yard breeders. Take the bad and ugly along with opinions you want to hear. Become soundly educated and well informed, not just supported by fluff, while you possibly make an unfortunate, expensive mistake.
You should NEVER find yourself alone, in the middle of a whelp, in trouble, clueless, with you precious female looking up at you for help and answers you are not prepared to give.
