Most people in dogs are willing to share their experiences and knowledge with 'Newbies' but at least put a little effort into it before contemplating breeding.

Most of your reply is fine to me but in the last 3 lines I think you are being a bit harsh here, as many other members have stated on this thread they had not known this either and its better that she asked and not let the situation get out of hand just in case there was anything wrong.
I agree that a lot of research has to be done b4 you breed I studied the genetic side of breeding thoroughly b4 considering breeding my border collies as well as all the other things involved in breeding, mating, pregnancy, whelping and rearing pups etc, but there are things you will still come up against that you need advice on and this is where to ask for it, is it not?
I just think you could have been a little more tactful in your reply, as now another member may not be returning to the forum as a result of this type of post, individual opinions are good but there is a fine line line between this and offending others.
