Doug, This is actually very complicated and thought provoking when you really think about it. I have felt used at times when I've done a favor for someone or sold them birds at a reduced price only to see them resold for a whole lot more money.
There are several reasons why people do this . They are insecure or want to increase the price of the birds. They are in it more for the money than for the love of the bird.
On a positive note, I've had people email me to find out if I sold birds to so and so. There are a lot of birds out there that are misrepresented either intenionally or unintenional. I've had a few people offer birds back to me when they had changed directions. Most birds that are sold give credit where credit is due. They love their birds and work hard to promote and improve the breed. In your case, ( which I know ) the person did use your name after you went above and beyond to see that they got some nice birds to love,improve the breed, and get others into the buff cochin. It is hurtful and disappointing when that happens.
Unavoidably and the bottom line, there are people out there that is in this hobby to further themselves or to make a $ . We as responsible breeders just have to accept the Few that are like that. I have met a whole lot more good people in this business than bad.We can't let 1 bad apple spoil the whole buschel.We as human beings want to trust and look for the positive in people. Let the birds speak for themselves and let's do our part to share and educate "newbies" on what a good cochin looks like. Judy
