The problem with this forum is, one can ask a simple, inocent question, and even after you weed through all the insults for having axked such a stupid question, you can get some very contradictory answers from people who all claim to be professional, responsible breeders. So whos advice do you take.
I have asked questions on here and have been burned badly. When I see a newbie ask a question where I know they will be crucified, I want to PM them and tell them to "run for their lives."
Many of these threads end up with the "responsible" breeders arguing amongst themselves. This one turned into a discussion on how and how not to answer a question and whether rudeness is ever warranted.
I cannot believe the arrogance of some of the people on here, acting like they are the only ones qualified to decide whether a particular dog should or should not be bred.
I joined this forum to learn about breeding, and what I learned about breeding is; that it is a very cut throat business.
I've also learned:
Only show people should breed
Show people should never breed.
Ask your vet if you have a question.
Never ask your vet, vets know nothing about breeding.
If you have a question then you aren't qalified to breed
Ask questions because no individual breeder has experienced it all.
The male should always be smaller than the female.
The male doesn't have to be smaller than the female.
Only registered dogs should be bred
Registering a dog has nothing to do with it's qualification for breeding.
All dogs should come from champion blood lines
Champion blood lines can be very risky because there is a lot of in breeding.
And the list goes on |
