Very good post Jess.  This is what has been missing from online discourse since the rise of the huge social media sites. It is very difficult now for people to read and in depth information about any topic let alone dogs or other animals.  There is so much info out there that reading it has become passe.  Thus, decisions are made based on photos and how many "like" or "thumbs up" something receives.  Posting a thoughtful comment is now not the norm.  The Twitter, PinTerest. Instagram, FaceBook etc - has dealt a huge blow to learning and mind expanding activities.  So, what can we do?  Continue to support sites like Mastini Mayhem and others where owners of the breeds are actually willing to have a discussion with a perspective buyer/owner or just someone seeking knowledge.

Good post!
