Debbie - you're a gold mine, but you can very often be over-zealous.
And one has to introduce some kind of balance.
So I decided to concentrate on just three aspects of your responses - costs, marketing and risks. I'm certain there are holes in your summation of these things plus a few others.
Your stock reply when you get a little frustrated, is the cultural differences. I would have though that the USA with 300 million people, huge immigration spurts and dozens and dozens of communities of different races, different religions - some extreme - would, in a mainstream aspect, not be that much culturally different to NZ. So if someone advertises their intention to breed Corgi pups in the near future, has not been done in the USA - then perhaps it could be regarded as an innovative thing to do in the USA and not be "unethical" as you say. Interestingly, the NZ Kennel Club's monthly glossy magazine sometimes carries ads on puppy breeding "intent." The NZKC represents dog management and ownership accross the spectrum. Specialists clubs also do this in their newsletters to members. All four Corgi clubs in NZ have carried these kind of ads in their newsletters.
