No one is "bashing" new breeders here. Read more carefully
If one looks at the OP it's 2 years old.
At the time many of us were noticing that false claims were being made by some sellers, mostly through inexperience, but a very few knew exactly what they were doing. So obviously we IMed the sellers to point out that their info was false and still do.
As you can see (if you take the trouble to read through the thread correctly) quite a few of the older breeders were offering their help in order to avoid some inexperienced people making some often costly mistakes. Some of these false claims were priced at 30K and more.
Many of us have guided a lot of new breeders through their first steps since then, helped them make the best choices in starting off their cattery etc.

This is (well used to be anyhow) what the KC community was all about, trying to nip erroneous infos and ideas in the bud, keep things on an even keel and help out anybody who was floundering, but many have given it up now as a lost cause.

Bumping this thread occasionally is just part of the help we can give, and we do so as there are many useful contributions i it.

*and BTW not all of the offenders are by any means new breeders.
