Tracy,



You are correct about the time and investment that you had to accomplish just to make it possible for breeders like MKR to accomplish their goals. What an amazing example of how and what this is all about. Wonderful to know that "it can be done". This is what we are all striving for on one level or another. When MKR first started "no one" thought they could achieve exactly what they have achieved. Congrats to you Tracy for being not only an inspiration but also for being one of the most important breeders of all time. Your achievements are already a benchmark to be respected and admired. MKR has achieved goals to be very proud of also. How many times has some one on this forum spoken of the "Big Breeders" as if they were the only ones that could achieve such success? MKR has done their success from the ground level of starting an "entire collection "and raising them up for breeding and then carefully deciding how to achieve their goals. No on gave them their success or their animals. Just like you Tracy, MKR had to make their own success. In fact MKR paid top dollar years ago for their morphs “more than they are worth now” because it takes time to build a collection and breed them. I have purchased three of the Axanthic females “VPI” line from MKR. Joe and Wes are more excited than me about adding them to my collection and not because they sold them to me but instead because they actually love those animals and get excited when their clients add them to new collections. Unlike some people in this business Joe and Wes are actually happy when their customers succeed with their collections just the same way you have expressed your feelings about the animals you have sold MKR over the years. Just to let you know Tracy, the first few times I called you years ago I was actually very shy about speaking with you. You were kind and you were generous not only with your time but also with your information. I appreciate that very much.





Sincerely, Kyle
