It is easy to understand that people do not want their full adress and phone number on their site or FB Page. But to completely withhold all personal information is no longer a privacy or security concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is more a warning to potential interested parties that this may NOT be a serious enterprise at all. In fact – it more screams SCAM! BEWARE! SCAM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or at least that this it is a breeder that for some reason is not willing to stand behind their own kennel name. And if so – hmm, why????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may think that your kennel name is so famous that everyone knows exactly who you are. That is probably true, in a very limited circle, primarily your own breed community, quite possibly mostly within your country or region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside that community, and quite often even inside that community, a kennel name does not automatically make a bell go off in the visitors head, knowing who you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
A breed like Silken Windhound is a very international community.
So no, most of us can’t keep track! Too many kennels, too many breeders, and we can’t keep everyone apart just by a kennel name. Not anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might ask why it is important to present the breeder by name?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst of all, it is rude not to. Plain and simple. Rude!
Secondly, stating your name says you are putting your name behind your kennel name and your breeding program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thirdly, although this can be contested, it makes it harder for someone to put up a site that is really nothing but a scam in order to fool people to pay deposits for imaginary puppies. It is quite possible to make a near duplicate of your site and use it for shady purposes.
Your name on the site does not mean it is foolproof and you are who you say are.
