pets, crossbreeds etc

Is it possible to have a pet/crossbred section that people can post their questions onto. I understand that 'pets' are a way of involving people in the fancy and a lot of serious breeders also do pets..... but I think that sometimes people get carried away with the 'breeder'aspect of keeping cavies and just do it to produce pets to sell on..... and it would help draw a clear distinction between pet breeders and exhibition breeders. Call me old-fashioned if you like

I agree, but we'd need to clarify how it was done. Would they not feel a bit hard done by if they had one section to post anything pet/crossbred related and the whole rest of the forum was devoted to pures? I don't know...

You also have to consider if confusion would be caused i.e. if I had a question that is about pets but also fits into cavy general, which do I choose? We may find that all our time is spent moving topics...new 'pet' litters....new litters or pet section???

What do the mods think??

Just a thought...or the for sale/wanted section...

Not keen on the idea if it means moving topics constantly Matt. It's time-consuming and I never mind with newcomers, but they're not always the ones that get it wrong. I'm happy to go along with it if everyone wants it but I think we have to establish that it really is necessary before we add anything more to confuse issues.

Yes those are my concerns Gwen.

I have, however, split up the advertising sections.
