Honestly the fact that more breeders don't have mailing lists is astonishing to me.

Its not just breeders. It is shocking the number of small business owners that dont do the little things that keep customers. I have had multiple family members start their own businesses to varying degrees of success and it was pretty clear what the little things can do to make or break you. It was also really clear that just because you are good at doing something doesnt mean you are good at running a business that does that thing. A good painter is not necessarily a good paint shop owner. An excellent breeder is not necessarily a good sales person or marketer. My sister and her husband are the best at it that I have seen. He is the specialty guy that does the service. She is the business person that runs the business. Its a great combo and they have been very successful. I dont see how one person can do it all really.
