Did I come across as if I had dislike for dog shows? I watch animal planet all the time, and the dog shows that air on it.
Again I have nothing against show dogs or owners/breeders placing dogs in any show. Just as I have nothing against those who do not. I think most of the people who are on this site come here for the purpose of learning more about the breed, be it because they have an interest in breeding or just want the information to better raise the puppy that they have. But I have noticed that many times someone posts any interest in breeding or the fact that they are breeding some people come in teeth showing. I don't think that is right. Why can someone not just say "before I began to breed, I did this or that" and not come across as if they are standing over them wagging a finger saying shame shame. Maybe that is really what they are looking for, information on if they should or should not venture into breeding and what comes with that choice. Those who have decided to breed (not saying they should or should not have), are not here to be scolded, just to continue to obtain information. There is always something more to learn. All I am saying is just because someone has not actually placed a dog in a show does not mean the yorkie is less than. And many don't mind if they have a yorkie that is not up to standard, they just love the one they have. And that is a blessing..... |
