Bichonmum: no comments have been made by me towards you. NONE! I have never met you anywhere nor have I seen any reason to think anything ill of you.
My posts were directed at the two people who came here from another forum and after attacking Gallien repeatedly there, brought the exact same agruement here. Problem is the explaination and truth was already posted and debated on the other forum so to start it over again here, is just plain cruel. It is bringing up a very hurtful reminder to Gallien about her beloved dog. That is the thing that is bothering me because Gallien is a good friend and I see the hurt she is suffering. As has been stated by several people who know Gallien....she is responsible and she is not a bad breeder. I see no need for anyone to continue questioning that. I certainly can understand the need to educate and try to keep everyone responsible; I run a rescue and I see the horrors of unwanted dogs and pups. I also am about to venture into the breeding side and I have suffered more then enough hassels that I really do not post about it anymore here. I guess bottom line is that it is wonderful to educate people and that is very necessary but after that you gotta let it go. Some people refuse to learn, or know more then let on. I know I do not volunteer alot of information, I just feel it is my business what I do not anyone elses. I have been called irresponsible and even accused of breeding rescue dogs... untrue! I have put alot of time and effort into searching out my breeding stock, and have three dogs spayed or neutered because it just was not exactly what I wanted to pass on. I have a mentor who has bred for years and he is guiding me, so I do not screw up or do anything stupid. I also have a waiting list for my pups so next heat I will be breeding one bitch. I need more down payments to breed anymore then that, I want my pups sold before the breeding to make sure that there are not a dozen unwanted dogs here in my kennel taking up space for the rescue dogs.
