| Hey, everyone... I just want to mention that Gir & Bing is 14 years old. Gir & Bing, it's not nice to be so judgemental of show dogs. There are some breeders on here that would take major offense to your comments without looking at your age. I do not want to be age-biased, let's just call it inexperience. Please don't dis show dogs. Thanks!

| Here is KeeKee. She pretty much runs the house now. She is only 3.5 pounds but will jump the others to start play time, take toys away from others, and the first one to run and slide to the food dish! P.S. - Even though Kee is not a show dog (due to size) her sister and brother are and they are very sweet. Pepe loves to chew on fingers and loves to lay on your lap and Easy loves to have her chest rubbed - she will put her head under your hand just to get you stated so she can have her chest scratched. I have met many show dogs and they are all very nice. When you get passed the hair and bows - they are our babies. Besides they have to be good so the judge can place hands on them - check bite, bone structure, leg placements, male hum hums. I bet you didn't know they are so sweet too! Have you gone to any dog shows? I bet you would have a great time. T. Last edited by topknot; 12-20-2005 at 06:08 AM. |

| Well, showdogs are not all like that. In fact, that would likely have to do with the way they are raised. Because responsible owners of showdogs know that it's not just how the dog looks, it's also their personality traits as well. I'm guessing you had a bad experience with one to be making such a generalized statement. And if that is the case, I'm sorry that happened. But making a statement like that is about as ignorant as making a statement like "all black males are criminals". It's not true, and it's racist. Your statement comes off like that... strongly. I don't do the dog show thing, but if I did, I would find your whole contest insulting. As a mother of a 12 year old, I know that young people say things a lot without thinking before opening their mouths. So I'm hoping that this person will see where we (those of us that took offense to the statement) are coming from, perhaps issue an appology if he/she means it, and maybe do some research on showdogs in general.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I think all dogs are beautiful. Just some of show them and some of us don't. I do agree however that the dogs aren't snobby. They only learn what we teach them. I have talked to a few showers on here and all have been very nice and not snobby at all. But I am sure they are some out there.

| I think that show dogs are so cute and I dont know why you would say that they are "snobby" Just look at that picture of Gazou's dog and tell me that dog is ugly! That is one of the most beautiful yorkies I have ever seen and it has a long coat. I think that maybe you need to refrase (sp) the way that you say things next time.
