Here goes...
DD's & Jackbox - the brunt of breeders getting fed up hearing about people who rescue not going to a breeder.....? You all seem to have a bit of an issue with her?
BD - goes both ways, it may not feel great as a breeder hearing that but its only one persons view....not harming anyone or thier pets, making suggestions etc, just a view and personal choice? so I wouldnt get so wound up over it thats all, so I wondered what the actual problem was, thats all.
BM - feel free to clear this up if I'm wrong, but the impression I had for BM's posts was more that she wouldnt fund more pups being bred while rescues are being PTS type of thinking? Not that all breeders are terrible just that she dosn't agree....?
Just that the thread seems to have gone from breeding for health/temp/sound conformation to people insinuating that BM thinks shes better than others? lol just wondering what happened

I dont have a problem with people that go to rescues instead of breeders, something we advise to potential pup owners, and working with rescues ourselves I think its a good thing that someone that can take on a rescue who just wants a pet gives their love and a second chance to a dog in need.
I have also not insinuated that BM think she is better than anyone.

No , not with her personally, just some of her views, this is not about breeders getting fed up with people going to rescue above them, but the fact BM says no breeder is good enough.
BD - goes both ways, it may not feel great as a breeder hearing that but its only one persons view....not harming anyone or thier pets, making suggestions etc, just a view and personal choice? so I wouldnt get so wound up over it thats all, so I wondered what the actual problem was, thats all.
that its repeated over and over again, people get fed up with it, its that simple.
BM - feel free to clear this up if I'm wrong, but the impression I had for BM's posts was more that she wouldnt fund more pups being bred while rescues are being PTS type of thinking? Not that all breeders are terrible just that she dosn't agree....?
As I said , you need to read other threads, not just this one, its goes back a good way.
Just that the thread seems to have gone from breeding for health/temp/sound conformation to people insinuating that BM thinks shes better than others? lol just wondering what happened :-)

Personal choice is absolutely fine, of course it is, but to say there are no breeders that could meet her expectations, when those are the very people she is talking to (breeders I mean) is unfair and is bound to raise a few hackles. She then turned it into people "attacking" her for having rescues, when of course there was never any of that at ll, anywhere that I have read nor seen on the thread at all.
