Thank you for your thoughts, so can someone be considered a BYB if they have pedigree dogs and breed pedigreed puppies, however not being interested in showing or trialing dogs? Also if a breeder does not sell puppies with pedigree papers would they then be considered as BYB? If there are no pedigree papers with a puppy are they still considered to be pure bred? Lot's of questions I know, but if I don't ask I will never know. Steve

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and wanted to ask: what constitutes a back yard breeder? what constitutes a puppy farm/mill? I look forward to some responses. regards, Steve

Hi all, I came across this forum just by accident and I found this post quite interesting. Copyright is a very complex issue, I know, I have been involved in litigation before and it cost me a lot of $$$$$$$$ In the end because I was furious and made some rather honest (but not well thought out comments publicly), I ended up having to PAY the other party damages ! Just be careful what you post on a public forum about anyone, it could bite you on the BUM big time. They may be in the wrong however it could cost you in the end. I had a look at the sites you guy's are discussing (google is a wonderful thing) and I cannot find anywhere that mentions any affiliation to the other breeders therefore by defult there is no association. With regards to copyright if it's different by at least 25% there is nothing you can do, from what I have read in the T&C's on both sites there is a difference, not great but it is there. IMO go forward and live your life, karma is a wonderful thing. Steve.
