This is a new area on a TRIAL basis. Its either going to be great or get out of hand, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
Here you can list your breeder, and your experience with them. Good or bad. Stick with the facts, no slander or emotional rambling.
Breeders ...feel free to start a thread and say what you do as a breeder. What health testing do you do? What kind of set up do you keep your dogs in? Are they in kennels or do they live in the house? What do you strive for when breeding, such as temperment...conformation, color, whatever it is. Do you show?
Be prepared to BACK UP what you say. We want photos, we want documentation of health testing. List your bloodlines and dogs.
Im hoping people can ask LOTS of questions. It wont be easy to lie to people here, because lots of people, some in the business and some not, will be watching! SO if you are unethical breeder, think twice before participating, bad practices will be discovered.
One very IMPORTANT RULE: DO NOT ADVERTISE PUPPIES. Don't result to a classified ad about a puppy. New litter photos are fine, just do not say they are for sale or available.
This should be a great learning experience. It will also give people who think they want to breed a look into what it takes, its NOT easy, its NOT profitable and it should be Hard Work! Give the facts but try to keep it friendly.
