I think that the big breeders walk a very fine line of business vs. love of what they do ... From a pure hobbyist perspective and as someone that is passionate about animals they want to scream out to the world when they produce something cool or something that no one has ever seen before ... yet, at the same time, these guys/gals have businesses to run ... in some cases, big businesses ... and like all businesses, that sometimes involves marketing and other times it involves trade secrets in order to stay ahead of the competition and get an "edge" in what is becoming a very competitive market.

The other problem we have is that with so many sharks out there ready to pounce and make another breeder look bad in order to promote themselves, a lot of people are becoming more hesitant to speculate or to share things until they have "all the answers" ... Because in this business, if you publically declare something and it turns out later you are wrong ... no one will let you forget it.

For the most part, I think the big guys do an excellent job of finding that balance and keeping us all interested and excited about the possibilities ... that's why their "pros"!!!!
