      ๐Ÿ‘ @tanza. His picture on the go fund me site is disturbing. Heโ€™s going to be a project for her. I really hope theyโ€™ll be successful together. Iโ€™m glad you reached out to help her with advice. Iโ€™ve been sharing the link and have been able to get few more people to donate.

      @scagnetti said in Soft-Serve Stool:

      I wouldn't be surprised if you found studies that report conflicting results.

      That is almost always the case, isn't it ? One man's meat is indeed another man's poison - - -

      I'm definitely attending the next show as a recon trip. Not sure how the work here but if they're similarly easy to enter as the ones in the US, I do want to show Roux!
      LOL that's a hilarious saying; I absolutely appreciate a smart lady over cluelessness haha ๐Ÿ˜›

      LOL this is a really important convo to be having! I'm honored that it takes place on my thread ๐Ÿ˜† and yes, I absolutely agree with the points y'all are making.
      People do need to know where their pups are coming from and whether they were responsibly bred. To think of it coldly, I wouldn't buy a house without looking into its history and possible problems, or I might face ridiculous stress, expense, and emotional trauma from subsequent issues that come up later. As a consumer, one should do their homework not only on the breed but on the breeder.
      A breeder who produces puppies carelessly is basically a horrible human being in my book. It was a huge, thoroughly thought out moral decision for me not to adopt but to buy a purebred puppy, as I've worked with rescues before. I took this step with the possible goal of being a custodian. If a breeder is irresponsible in all the aforementioned ways, not only are they producing dogs with a higher possibility of suffering, muddying this ancient breed, and swindling people, they are needlessly taking potential homes away from dogs that need one AND frequently causing dogs to be abandoned! If there weren't any PMs or BYBs, imagine how many people would get schooled by rescue folk and responsible breeders into taking dog-parenting seriously before they ever took one home!
      Sorry for the rant; I COMPLETELY understand the internal screaming that happens within some of you when you find out a pup is from a mill or crap breeder. If people like you and I keep yelling about it, we will change a few minds, which make all the difference to a few dogs which is better than no dogs ๐Ÿ™‚
