Someone asked me this morning why I hate breeders. What are breeders? To me Breeders are those who truly know what they are doing. They breed dogs that get better each generation. They do health screenings. They proudly (and deservingly so) show the fruit of their labor. And they love their animals. I don't hate those people. I admire them. The people that bother me are those who breed, and breed, and breed, and maybe get a good one every 7 or 8 litters (it is a numbers game, it is bound to happen). So they sell a couple more litters to show this pup, collect the ribbons and use those same ribbons to qualify their "breeding programs" and impress the unsuspecting buyers. Yes, we do have some of those people amongst us. And sadly, every breed does too. They have puppies for sell at any time of the year. They discount the older ones (12-14 weeks) because they start to eat more, and become more costly. It is all about the money. Those people bother me. I don't hate them, but they do bother me. Because I see how many of them complain against Mr. Hunte. It is not due to any altruistic motive. It is competition. So please, lets get the record straight. Breeders are not the problem. I don't hate anyone in dogs, I don't spend my energy that way. Ileana God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I'll never die. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
