How important are past or current client relationships(or confidentiality) to you?

When looking into a breeder or a trainer or, well, anything?

This week alone I have seen a breeder trash a puppy buyer publicly by calling them a liar and an idiot, a trainer call their clients "asshats", and a groomer call their clients "stupid and annoying".

I have a hard time imagining myself choosing to go to and pay money to someone who'll openly bash their clients, especially when doing so by name. It would make me hesitant to engage with them. There are exceptions , of course, but for the most part, IMO, it is extremely unprofessional and impeding of my trust.

Am I alone in this?
