Let me see if I understand this - I say I disagree with tail docking, I say I disagree with a lot of common wisdom on show breeding, I state my reasons why. Then, rather then debate my points, you tell me I'm closed minded and must be pro-puppy mills.
Not to toot my own horn, but I am pretty open-minded, and I'm not just going to take someone's word for it because They Should Be Believed. If you really have a case, back up your arguments well, THAT'S what will convince people. Insulting someone or writing them off just means you can't defend your position.
And for me, that's where statements like, "If you truly love the breed, you should xxx." I love ALL dogs, but that doesn't mean I turn off my mind! No disrespect to
Nancy1999, I know we disagree on this issue, and I think from her other posts I know where she is coming from.
And for the record, people I love and respect have posted here in support of tail docking. Still don't agree with it though.
