Here is what I said:

The people who make gobs of money off breeding ANYthing are often the people that take shortcuts at some point in the process and therefore, turn out an inferior product.

I never said every breeder that makes money off what they've bred is turning out an inferior product. I never said that you COULDN'T make money off breeding, just that you aren't going to be making gobs of it. Breeding isn't, and shouldn't be, a business; it should be doing something you love, so that when you take that first hit or loss, or when you have several losses, it isn't the end of the world--it's a speed bump you'll get over because your passionate about what your breeding for. You aren't plugging A + B to get C.

There are so many variables that people don't think about or account for and it leads to the problem we have with the overpopulation and prevalence of backyard bred pit bulls, for example. Everybody and their brother getting into the business to MAKE MONEY and not to do it because they love what they're doing, and then they end up taking the shortcuts in terms of research on genetics, in terms of taking proper care of their animals because don't you know that costs money?

I just don't think it's fair or wise to make it out like a guarantee that you'll turn out to be a big name or even a little name breeder when the odds are stacked against you.

Also, to get my fangirling out of the way, I think it's so amazing that you were there from the beginning. I have a healthy respect for Dave Wilson and what he's managed to do with Bully's, even if they're not my style. The thought behind the genetic aspect alone ... Just awesome.
