Ideally, buying a puppy is more than just looking in the newspaper and calling the first ad you see for the breed you want. Problems don't just go away by pretending there isn't a problem.

I didn't see anyone slamming Tink for what she is doing. Personally, I was just asking questions. If you don't ask-you don't learn.

Up until the 14th post...the discussion was a celebration of sorts about the birth of Canada's litter. Then it became questions on breeding practices...full blooded..etc.

I'm not speaking for anyone else but myself, but I personally thought that if anyone wanted more information on this, a dog forum would be a better place to get it.

There are so many dog forums out there and that's where those type of discussions belong. That is why so many of us come here (that belong to other dog forums) so we do not have to deal with being interrogated and opinions being shoved in our directions when opinions were not asked for in the first place.

I sincerely hope this post doesn't sound like I'm pointing fingers or anything like that, definitely not my intent. We've just all silently agreed not to judge or condem anyone for their beliefs on any topic. We're all individuals and no one will agree on everything. We've even wrote about politics here, but not once did anyone's feeling get hurt or feel they were being judged by who they were wanting to vote for. We'd just like to keep it that way.
