    Backyard Breeders ... A definition

    Since we seem to be having a bit of discussion about backyard breeders lately, here is a link to a site which gives a definition of backyard breeders vs. responsible breeders.

    FYI, in case anyone is interested in learning more.

    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    this is a great thing exept, that it applies to all EXEPT border collies. I would NEVER pay over $200 for a border collie, they are best raised outdoors, they sould NEVER be bred according to standered, because the standerd is cr*p. a lot of the things on there if someone followed that for a border collie they would end up with one very crappy dog. it is great for all other breeds, and should definatly be followed for other breeds
