I just went and competed i havent misled anyone i was there and did get second place ribbon and i was only female yorki there not only yorkie
i had another male puppy class and mojo was in competion with carmella as well he took best male cause he was only adult male does that mean his winning is not real two? | I am game to try to explain something about the show world. Yes your adult males win doesn't mean anything either with not competing wiht anything. But it goes further than that. Lets say your male was in the show and another male was in the show. Lets say your male won. That means out of the two the judge felt yours was better. Okay here's the real world. It is very possible neither one was a very good representative of the breed and really neither should have gotten anything. I have seen judges put up the best of the two neither should have been entered. I have seen a judge withhold the ribbon on a whole class of a breed because in the judges opinion none should have been in the ring.
Okay so you wnet to a show, showed your dog with a totally wrong colour. It is unfortunate you didn't talk to some show breeder first and find out if it should be in the ring in the first place. If anyone wants to breed, it is in the best interest of the breed to learn all you can about the breed by attending shows and talking to the breeders who know their breed everywhich way before you even start. Breeding wrong colours is not pioneering something different, it is plain old breeding wrong colours bringing the breed down.
When I have sold a pet quality puppy, even if it is correct colour, I do not ever want any of my buyers to even think of putting it in a show ring.
As far as murdering chocolates, no one is killing anything. That gene is there and when the combination hits that might produce a chocolate pup, a reputable breeder will sell it much cheaper than a regular pet puppy will sell for and make darn sure they never repeat that breeding. They don't sell them as 'rare' for big bucks. |
