Look, all I'm going to say before I ditch this thread is that I've noticed that some people on this forum often call each other out for no good reason. A member may just be posting their opinion, or an experience, only to find that other people end up attacking them and/or dictating to them. Whether or not it is meant that way, it comes off as snobbish and rude the vast majority of the time. I'm getting tired of seeing it, and experiencing it. You can have your opinions, but that does not mean you need to go out of your way to try to invalidate mine, or anyone elses'. |
You need to remember this is a Purebred forum. You can go to another purebred forum ppl will have the same ideas. If you go to a general dog forum they will still have another opinion. But really why can ppl sell Mokies for $2k when you can get a puppy from Champion lines for less? Onces the first Mokie is born you can't follow the genetic history anymore. 3-4 generations down you are subjected to whatever the breeder says. Money value mean nothing. Its what your willing to pay and if you think its a good price. But Dog clubs will set a certain guideline of rules for breeders to follow. Its just not made up. Rules that are suppose to be better for the dog..or not.
