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 |
She sure is not putting a very good foot forward if she indeed is a judge or a show breeder. Of course, you wouldn't have a way of knowing if what she said is true. People can make all sorts of claims but I will tell you her attitude, if she is being truthful, is going to be known in the show world.
No, show breeders and judges are not all like this. Most are very nice and would never behave in this manner. My bet is that this woman is miserable in all aspects of her life and I have seen and known people like that, in and out of the dog world.
