Very nice thread this is...
I have to agree with everything. I know a few guys that jumps in this hobby to make money, and as soon as you tell them that its going to take some months to years they want to leave because its too much work... :blink:
I have been in this hobby for almost 2 and a half years, and only a week ago after research upon research I have tried my hand on breeding for the first time. Why, because I wanted to know all the ins and outs...and believe me, I'm far from knowing most things still...Also I did it, because I also believe you truly never get that true passion in the end if you have not after time experienced your very own first breeding attempt, so it was for the experience.
There's something on the horizon on my calendar, that everyone will know of shortly, and I think personally, if most guys/girls in this hobby does this it will help this hobby a lot. This is not something I want to do, but it's something I really feel I need to do.
