If dogs are pets, why the stigma against breeding for healthy pets?

Why good breeders should advertise...yes, even in the newspaper!

Controversial issues -- anti-breeding bills, breed specific legislation, AKC or UKC policy changes, federal legislation, may be discussed but will not be the main focus -- there are other lists for that. You may ask for opinions of specific judges, vets, or other individuals, but you MUST say "private responses only." Advertising is forbidden.

This is a list for grown-ups of any age, newbie or expert. No rudeness allowed, but polite expression of controversial views is fine. New members are moderated until they post once to be sure they joined to talk about b*tches and studs that are actually dogs and not something seamy. The list is moderated only as necessary and we DO enforce our rules. Let's put the fun and information back into show lists!
