That is sad Kati. I definitely hear from many that they do not believe it is a level playing field.
Lately, I have even thought the cost of fuel would be a factor - I remember many years ago, going to the Royal Melbourne Dog Show and being surprised that the numbers had fallen away so badly and asking those there I was told that people cannot afford the fuel to travelling all over the country
We definitely have to address the breeding costs so that we are targeting those who need assistance
