I am far from perfect....but then again you already knew that...breeding dogs
is optional...If I don't care for you, and there are several in this sport that
are on my list, I have a pretty good reason....so why on earth would I do
business with you?.....answer is...I won't....there is a line in the first
Godfather movie when the Don was shot and his eldest son Sonny wanted to shoot
every one he thought might have been involved...his other brother Tom Hagan
tried to stop him by saying..." It's bad for business"....Sonny's classic
response was..." well then business will have to suffer"...I just won't deal
with folks I don't like if I don't have to...Ed

dislike this person. In dogs,
one does not "dislike" a person, but, yes, their "breeding practices",
ethics, is a main point,
Personalities would never disuade me from breeding to a male but, lack of
ethics, certainly would.
So, again, why does one breeder dislike another??
