I've seen some pretty sensible and responsible teens, and some pretty darned irresponsible and totally senseless 60+ year olds. To me, age ain't nuthin' but a number. Starting out now at 16 being a careful, responsible, and sensible breeder, will make you all that much more of a great and respectable breeder at 20, 30..+++. The key is just being responsible IMHO. :rockon:
