I didn't look at it like that at all. IF someone was going to do a breeding, this MIGHT be a way to help somebody in need. I hardly think someone was going to do a breeding just because they were going to save $100-$150 on a stud fee. But, hey, I'm all for writing a check to support a charity I feel good about. This was just proposed as an alternate way to raise funds...
