Thank youOriginally Posted by valanhb
I know very little about breeding, whether it be about dogs or cats. But I do firmly believe that with any popular breed, whether that be Persians or Bengals or Meezers or Doxies or Rotties or whatever the breed of the year is, there are good breeders and bad. The good ones do their research on the breed, know the histories and geneology of their breeding pairs and do it for the betterment of the breed. If that hadn't happened when Dalmations and GSDs were so overbred by bad breeders who were in it for the money that many of the lines were tainted with genetic issues and diseases then we probably wouldn't have these breeds around now.
I'm just saying that we need to place the blame where the blame lies - with the BYBs - and support those that are doing right by the breed.However, especially with the popular breeds these are legitimate questions to ask, even though I'm sure it gets tiring for the good breeders to have to answer them over and over again. If you're doing it for the right reasons (and IMO I think she is), then the breeders have to view it with patience and understanding that the questions are asked with the best intentions and love for the breed.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer them.Because it allows me to appreciate the pictures of these precious babies on many levels and not *just* because they are adorable, which they are.
