BCOA and Committee contacts

Breeder Talk
  • tanzaT

    From "Katheris"

    There are contacts for the Co-Chairs of the Native Stock Committee, although individual members of the committee are not listed nor their contact information. Contact information for individual BCOA members in contained in the BCOA Roster. The online access to the roster is restricted to BCOA members only; the hardcopy of the current year membership is mailed directly to members.

    My Response
    Katy notes on the thread that have been shut down that there are contacts for BCOA to ask questions but the committee members are not. Too bad that the request of much of the membership that all committee members, not just the Chairs of those committees be listed for contact by people that would wish to have contact and not with the chairs.

    I had offer my assistance to collect that list for listing on the on the BCOA site, but seems that it has been stalled by some of the members of the current Board of Directors.

    One might ask, well you have the Chairs… and my response would be... maybe they are not confortable contacting the chairs. Members of the committee should be known and able to be contacted by all.

    And one further note.... I find it really in poor taste that people have had the thread that Therese started shut down... it is important to the breed and people should be able to discuss at length.

    I do understand this is a private owned list and they can do what they want, but it is really not a good thing... IMO on this subject.

    Totally agree. I read the thread that Therese started out of general interest. I don't breed basenjis and have only owned my boy Kipawa for just over 11 months, but I do understand the need to keep the basenji breed one of excellent health, temperament and conformation, regardless of where the stock is coming from.

    Being Canadian, I have always admired the strength to which my friends to the south embrace 'freedom of speech'. Saying that, I believe I have seen much more volatile threads on the forum than the one Therese started, and I am puzzled as to why the thread could not remain on the forum.

    @tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

    @tanza said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: you know nothing about breeding ... In all fairness, @tanza, you don't have any idea where my breadth of knowledge lies. I have previously stated that I have no desire to become a breeder, but that isn't the point. Is it? You are venting because I am firmly standing my ground. We've been through this discussion before and I'd wager that we will do it again. Over the same thing, ad nauseam. either allow this or ... I understand that you are frustrated. @eeeefarm said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: It is also fair to state any provable fact, but that should be left up to the individual, e.g. "my puppy has "such & such" condition, and my puppy came from "so & so" breeder with this existing condition. I agree with this, provided there is a way to prove that the illness could have been prevented by the breeder. That doesn't mean that every illness is breeder related. For example: Parvo and Giardia are widespread issues commonly contracted from one infected animal coming into contact with another, before or after the pup leaves the breeder. A pup with Giardia isn't necessarily a result of poor care by the breeder because it would be almost impossible to determine where the pup was infected. I think we should avoid referring to a breeder using subjective terms like: bad, irresponsible, etc. You cannot prove an opinion. If someone sees a statement (like that) about them and decides to contact an attorney, you and I aren't the ones who would be going to court. @JENGOSMonkey Thank you for your two cents (I liked the image, too). You are right. Most of what I do as a "moderator" is banning people who create profiles for commercial websites to improve their Google rank. I feel like if I kick them off right away, they won't bother us with inappropriate posts. I have banned over 2,000 profiles (so far), looks like I have 3 or 4 more to tend to today.

    @lindenbaum I've long forgotten about this thread. If I am remembering correctly, I left it up so that people could read the flags that it may be a puppy mill and be able to make their own decision regarding that. I am deliberately wording that as "... may be... " because I do not have any personal interaction with "HH" and therefore cannot speak to it. (please note that I removed your "HH available breeds" list, no offense)
