sometime's people's perceptions can be hurtful.I usually don't play the game by what anyone else thinks but I was recently told of comments about my "breeding practices" on another list.That kind of stunned me.My breeding practices?It literally said that I seem to be all about numbers these days.I know many of the "big" breeders have numerous litters per year,one right after the other and that seems ok but let someone else have more than a "perceived acceptable amount" and the buzz starts.Of course the question would be...how many litters are too many?I always felt like if the litters were well thought out and clearances done and you could provide excellent homes,then at least that covered the basics.
