Thanks, Stormy.. could have said it better.. :-) Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Hobby breeder guilty From: stormy435@xxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:12:59 -0800 CC: terrycochran97756@xxxxxxxxx; rockannand@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: stormygsd@xxxxxxx As Sue is saying there's nothing wrong with dogs being one's business. It's the ARs that are trying to convince the world that, somehow, raising dogs as a business is evil and just naturally abusive. So those who derive their income from dogs then try to differentiate themselves by categorizing the 'level' of their dog business. That's divisive and comes back to haunt all breeders as the ARs label ALL breeders, hobby or not, as abusive. That's biting off the nose to spite the face. (huh?)
