I am a big believer that every thing happens for a reason. Every time I have had some thing like what you mentioned happen some thing else has always popped up that was better. I think the main thing to look at is a lot of these people that are breeders are just that, breeders. They do not have a sense of what it means to run a business. In there minds they may want to sell there animals but it takes more than just posting some pictures on a website and waiting for results. When I was at NARBC over the weekend I was really surprised at the lack of interaction by a lot of the breeders. Just because you have a $10,000 animal does not mean that some one is just going to give you the money because you have a unique animal. I think long term that is where you are going to see the business breeders succeed and the breeders fail. If you cannot SELL your animals you just have a zoo collection. Thats just my opinion.
