I'm picking up here about what Sanu says about helping out new people.
Maybe it was communication problems Fabio, i don't know but whatever, you were extremely unlucky if you only found people unwilling to help and who wanted to keep this knowledge to themselves.
The great majority have, and have always been more than willing to patiently share their knowledge with people struggling to understand breeding, apart from those who freely contribute their time to giving regular breeding classes.
Sharing, in my group of KC friends anyhow, is what it has always been about, even sharing valuable kitties with others who are less fortunate too.
……………….…………..
Anyhow, when i first replied to Kitten's post in this threadi honestly had no idea what was happening in the background.
I have since been filled in and it seems that this goes way back to some rather older manœvering and disputes
Also this thread has a few "sour grapes" posts, some agreeing or disagreeing with others mainly for infighting purposes rather than to defend any real position taken. Without going into details, they can be spotted a mile off.
But personally, i would never undercut another just to make a sale, especially if i'm using a cat that i know the original breeder went to a lot of expense and effort to produce. And i know many other breeders who share this way of thinking, and it's quite normal that they get pretty upset when this happens to them or to others.
This isn't so much about having "standards" or "principles" i find it just normal behavior and respecting other people.
And it really gives me the creeps to see that some consider the application of real life marketing procedures quite normal and appropriate, in other words the cut-throat, predatory system that is ruining peoples lives the world over.
As long as it's legal just go ahead it's fine … BULLSHIT !
So i just carry on quietly in my corner as always, hardly ever go to auctions nor am i particularly clued in with all the main circuit intrigues, god what a horror; how can anyone actually enjoy their lovely kitties and breeding when they get sucked into all THAT ?
