Before I start, I've decided NOT to quote anyone, b/c I think that's where the attacking begins. And I'm not about that. So....
This is not a hard subject to figure out. What if I told you that I was related to her and knew she was 100% legit? She goes to Brazil to pick the PERFECT pup because you can't do it yourself. She makes sure that "your" new pup will be 100% healthy and beautiful, and the parents have wonderful temperments too. Shoot, saves me a trip to Brazil! You don't know if I'm related to her. Would you hate me b/c I support my aunt and her business? I would hope not!
This is why I won't get into a pissing match with anyone on here. It's like me trying to convince you abortion is right/wrong based on your beliefs. We can argue till the cows come home, and we probably won't agree with one another. Does that make you or I a bad person? Hell no! It's what we believe. People are stereotyping brokers as "all bad." And the "all" get pups from puppymills. I don't stereotype. Maybe it's an "East Coast thing," who knows cuz I've "heard" things about ya'll in other states!!! Do I believe them, NO cuz then I would be stereotyping, right?
I'm not a person that listens to people..Don't hang out with "so and so" b/c she's mean. "Don't buy from brokers cuz they are all bad." "Don't talk to him b/c he is black/white/chinese/etc." How ever you look at it, it IS stereotyping. And, I won't do it. Now, I'm not saying I wouldn't heed people's advice about purchasing from somewhere if it were the truth. Like Dane for example. There are too many negatives on him. And you know what, seriously? I've heard negative things about "reputable" breeders too. Does that mean I wouldn't buy from them? No!! Any person could have a bad apple or two or make up stories to hurt someone.
As I stated before, if a "reputable breeder only breeds for the better of the breed" then should they not be paid any extra cash if they just want to better the breed? No, because it is a business, no matter how much money people claim to make.
Now, I know I will probably be talked about by some on other forums for saying all this, but, if you want to talk about be for my beliefs then that's your decision. But dislike me because I think differently then some? Sorry, that's just ridiculous.
This right here is the reason I've not been so active here on YT. I'm tired of people getting bashed for asking "stupid" questions or stating their opinion. It's getting OLD!!!!!
PS. I apologize to YT admin in advance if you feel the need to close this thread.
PSS. I would also like to add that I am NOT mad/upset/etc. with anyone who trys to rebut my opinions. As long as it's done in a professional manner, it's all good!
