I for one like to vote to skip the "elitish" label from this discussion I think it is pretty scary people throw with that term just like that and label people and often times without even knowing them!
That is very judgemental and what if you judged that wrong?
I so agree with your entire statement, but felt the need to chime in on these two specific statements. If not for purchasing kitties from other breeders, my lines would not be where they are now. So you are absolutely right in that we all use each others kitties to accomplish our own breeding end results. And I dont' mind at all if someone else's name shows on my pedigree.
Elitist...again I agree. Now as I stated earlier, there will always be a level of snobbery...that is just human nature and something that we will never escape. The only way to over ride these labels is to maintain the KittyCats community by keeping it fun, light hearted and inclusive of ALL breeders. Answer questions when you can, help a struggling breeder, and most of all...laugh and have fun. Everything else is moot
