How familiar is this to us posting on here?

Indeed! Great article to bookmark for future pointers for people. :) It also shows there's no difference between the UK and US when it comes to people wanting a litter for no good reason.

Shared this, this blogger also has done a good write up on finding the right breeder!

There are some excellent articles on that site.

Breeder etiquette, too -

Yes I posted that one on another thread.

Enjoying her (long!) analysis of PDE.

Interesting article. However I am not sure I agree with her that people won't like the offspring of their dogs. I certainly haven't found that. They are different from their parent but I love them all for who  they are. It is great to see them develop and to find out if I have achieved my aims for the litter.

Ooh there are loads more LOL ;) http://rufflyspeaking.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/568/

I think she means neccesarily like in the way you have a special bond with some dogs, your dog of a lifetime. 

Her roomate comparison makes sense, you cna like your roomate but you wouldn't marry them or feel for them like members of your family, though sometimes you do.

I'd agree though that if your loking for a dog just like 'Missy' you will rarely find her in her offspring.
