I do truly have come to believe at least for this short time, that ppl in Canada are much more polite, after reading numerous posts like this.
I've not really encountered that kind of rudeness very often.
And please I hope every-one knows that "ALL"show dogs are not debarked. Anyone that regularly attends shows can certainly attest to that fact!
I might have sweetly asked and how many multi champions do you own and show to be so very "knowledgeable" about the breed?
But I;ve shared before, I did get oh that tiney dog looks like a rat; of course this was when Razzle was all wet from swimming. It does help that I have a very self confident boy, who is NOT small at 6.5 lbs or so. And will aggressively bark at lots of strangers. I tend to ignore those comments. Just consider the source; do you really want to waste breath on those folks?
It also helps that when we walk/hike, you see the Big dog and the Little dog. So big dog folks go Wow that is one serious dog; and perhaps are more willing to give some allowances we have this frou frou dog; who is not a frou frou dog at all!. Who is walking not carried, we train him, just like the big ones. He swims and dock dives, and does (try) to be obedient.
Anyhoo to the OP just file her comments in G for garbage which is what they are and deserve just the same amount of time you spend to throw anything in the trash where it belongs
He is kept in good trim and shape!
