as for reasons to breed though - you'll find as many different reasons as there are participants.
Agreed. I also feel that the wealth of info has lead to an increase in people trying their hand at this. Which is great it helps further the hobby in my mind.

My concern is the rushed manner in which some people focus on breeding without (what seems to me) first enjoying the animal for being itself.
