So, is it kind of like the AFDA - Australian Funeral Directors Association...? Who would be the "governing body" to decide on the breeder's integrity and reputation? Is there a time frame (like, you have to have been breeding the specific animals for "x" amount of years)?We will use a peer based selection, we have some great people on board and a vast knowledge of the hobby. We will also conduct phone interviews if need be.
It sounds good... but call me cynical, I have reservations... I know a 'few' "reputable" breeders who 'shouldn't' make it to the list...We will make sure our decisions will have a positive effect on the users
Just curious!
Best,
Carolyn
PS - The flyer looks damn awesome! Thank you
So, with respect D3pro, what if you have an "altercation" with a really good, well-known and highly respected breeder who has a great deal of integrity, you take a "dislike" to the person (not saying you would, just putting it out there...), and you and the mods decide "nup, black-ball this person, not going on the list"... What happens then? Would there be anything in place for this to be avoided?
No that won't be the case. In matters of expulsion, proper evidence has to be bought to the table and made to the members attention.
Hope this helps!
