I have to ask the show breeders out there a question.

let me tell you what happened to me yesterday....

it was pouring down rain and my husband and i were outside watching and we saw three silkies running in the rain. i called them to my house. we kept them in the garage and i called animal control to see if anyone had reported them missing. which none had. after the rain, i placed them all on leashes and took them to the corner of my street hoping who ever lost them would be looking for them and see me. well she did. i come to find out over a year ago, i had rescued these dogs before. they are champion silkies. the owner wasn't too grateful. she started to tell me about her in the ring and she used to judge. i then told her i had Yorkshire Terriers.

well....she then started to tell me yorkies are frail, bad teeth. by the time they are 5 yrs old they have to eat mush. she said she would judge them and wonder why they would continue to breed such a poor dog. my husband was beside himself and walked away. by the way, my dogs are not champions but they were much better looking than her dogs any day of the week.

now do you find that other show breeders tend to get jealous, or just think their breed is the best and all others are worth nothing?

i haven't a clue why she was so ugly to me after i saved her three champions from possible being runned over by a car.

we are just so very upset.

sorry so long but i just have to vent
