@stephmarieh:
Also, it may be a mill. there are alot in WI. But you have to remember, how are we to stop if we just come at them with agression. …
Next time be kind, get in with them and see the real truth. Then fix it.....
Steph,
Who came at them with aggression? People asked questions, and gave advice, and expressed hurt at the used of a venerated kennel name.
Then, after over a month of no responses from the inital poster, mentioned to you that their ad had several warning signs of a puppymiller/BYB.
I'm not trying to be argumentative. I am honestly asking, because I don't see what could come off as aggressive to the initial poster.
I can understand you being upset at being called "folks like" in reference to people who can be sucked in by a puppymiller/BYB without us really knowing you well. That was regrettable, but I'm sure Belinda didn't mean any harm by it.
Except that - what else would you change to make it so that we came off less aggressive, yet still got the point across well?
I would still invite you to come to some of our BCOSW events. We really are a great group of people, and you will get to meet tons of breeders and basenjis right in your area.
