What in the world is a non-professional breeder? Is this another " Back Yard Breeder " catagory.....or just implying that someone dosnt make their SOLE income from breeding Norwegian Fjords? I for one, have met many Fjord breeders in the last 10 years, and not one of them can claim that they only breed these horses for a living.
And I have probably met and talked to many more. I don't know of any that make their SOLE income from Fjords either. Not even Carol at Beaver Dam Farm does. I guess I would like to hear the definition of a "Professional Breeder" too. Or the definition of a "Non-Professional Breeder". Actually I would like to know what others think the term "Breeder" means. To me the "Breeder" is the owner of the mare at the time of service. So anyone can be a breeder as long as you are a owner of a mare. Owning a stallion only makes you a stallion owner it doesn't make you a breeder (Professional or otherwise).
