Sorry I got a little grouchy. I have volunteered at the local humane society, and I get tired of seeing how people treat animals as disposable commodities. Too many people out there hold animals in too little regard. There are breeders of AKC dogs who drown puppies that don't conform to the breed standard. Pretty scummy IMHO. The list of horror stories is endless, and it strikes a nerve with me. Maybe this bit of context will help you understand why it chafed me that someone would get rid of such a beautiful animal simply because it has the "flaw" of being generic.



I accept that you used those terms tongue in cheek, and didn't mean them literally. My reply was also intentionally over the top, partly for a chuckle and partly to make a point. I wouldn't want new readers of this forum to get the impression that that type of thing actually goes on routinely with alterna breeders.



I hope there are no hard feelings. And I'm serious about taking in your strays from that clutch. I don't breed them, so they will be safely out of the locality gene pool!
