The elitist thing has to stop. Just because someone has their own way of wanting to breed "their" kitties and do "their" business is "THEIR" right. Just like the way you want to do your thing is up to you.
As far as the names go. I have bought kitties from "top" breeders and some made nice kitties and some made some real duds. I have bought kitties from names I never heard of and got some duds and some amazing kitties.
One of the things I think is so damaging to our market is the fact that too many ppl buy kitties based on the breeders names. I look at the traits. I don't care who bred the kitty, if it has the traits I want and I can work it, then that is the kitty I want.
Putting all these names on each kitty, I think is a distraction from what the kitty has to offer. It can be an amazing kitty with an unknown breeder and it won't get the same attention that a kitty with the "top" breeder names.
Another thing, I don't want ppl asking me to go through pedigrees to find out every blessed thing there was. Part of the fun are the surprises. I stood in my cattery one day for over an hour typing out all the info on one kitty. I only did it because they paid a high price for the kitty but I wanted to rip my hair out.
