Isn't there some kind of way that we can look over the pedigree without disclosing who the breeder was? If it's really all about knowing with certainty what possible traits are hidden, why is the breeder name important at all? Why are pedigrees hidden if you're not the owner anyway, I never really understood that. I'd love to go "kitty surfing" by clicking my way up the pedigree.
I do agree that putting it all out there does leave less incentive for the community to reach out to each other. If we could kitty surf then I don't see why we need anything more than the owner's name as it is now. As for "elite auctions" there is a place for everything, I can see how some people would like that.
