|  Bitch! I'm really uncomfortable with calling female dogs bitches. It just seems so inappropriate these days with the negative connotations that the word has taken on. I feel like the word for a female dog should be changed. Actually, scratch that. Maybe we just need to stop using the word inappropriately for women and reserve it for its original use. |

| I know what you mean. I never swear at least not really bad words. I went to a kennel club meeting recently and I just don't know if I'm gonna be able to say the "B" word and I feel like a little kid but that's just the way I was brought up.  |

| I know......I am so used to hearing the inappropriate use of the word that when I am on here and see the posts by breeders I start to get uncomfortable. I think that is sad!

|  I strongly agree!! I won't even call mine a dog,let alone a Bitch. When my son says Lucy's just a dog,I tell him no she's not,she's my baby girl. I too thought someone was mad when I seen the thread.

| Donating YT 7000 Club Member  | I think if it wasn't used so negatively socially, then it would be fine. Somehow though, the word has gotten warped into a disrespectful term. =/ I also thought someone was mad when I saw this title haha. PS - that Santa thing...I saw it a couple days ago....totally insane.
