I am really MAD at America's Greatest Dog!! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

browniesmom622 · 07-18-2008, 06:36 AM

Do you know what made me mad besides that, was The lady with the big black dog She kept on squeezing the dog's muzzle & making it cry !! & they didn't yell at her for that They made more of a big deal about Her EHHing & the clothes !

Lexi Rae · 07-18-2008, 06:46 AM

i know lenora,,, she made me soooo mad when she was doing that to her
dog... could imagine what she does behind the camera.. what a witch..
that poor dog doesnt know if hes coming or going...

This also made me angry. I can understand what they said about not being able to see the grooming, but then to make condescending remarks about the fact that she dresses her dog and the whole "a dog is a dog, not a barbie" just pissed me off!!!! They should've just left it at the grooming, no need to degrade someone just because they choose to dress their pet. The pet business wouldn't be a multi-million dollar market if there weren't millions of people whom dress their pet and I'm sure are offended by the remark made last night. That judge needs to make a public apology!!!

Ok, I keep trying to register so that I can post a comment on the cbs message board about this topic and every time I click the register button, the site starts working, but then it just goes back to the same page. I'm getting no where and just madder by the minute. I so want to say something, you should read some of the comments.

I never did watch it . But I would be upset also.

Thanks for the link, I can't believe how upset I got when I heard the trainer and the other judge make these remarks that were really hateful. I guess I could understand if the male judge had said something, but it was the two women, and they really were trying so hard to make this girl feel bad about dressing her beautiful little "mutt", who in my opinion is one of the cutest dogs, I've ever seen. She recently had leg surgery so the owner had to shave her, and I think the clothes made her feel a little better about the way the dog's body looked at the time. As far as grooming, you could tell the dog was impeccably groomed; I almost got the feeling they wanted to humiliate the dog. If you hadn't seen it you probably wouldn't believe how horrible it was.

I'm not aware of these "studies" that say other dogs can't read your dogs signals if it has clothes on. The tail and ears, and mouth are the three main signals, and you can still see these in clothes, furthermore her dog got along fine with all the other dogs there, so this "reading signals" was just an excuse used by someone who didn't like to see dogs wearing clothes. For her to be in the bottom three because of this was really bad, and I hope the little cutie ends up winning the whole competition, but now I think the mama's going to feel pressure to undress her baby, and it makes me feel angry. I don't even dress Joey that much, I just don't like it when someone bullies and humiliates someone so much for something as unimportant as dressing their dog. I hope all you Crazy Club members unite and write CBS, and tell them what you think.

I agree...they PISSED ME OFF!!!!!!!!

And, like others have said, they made a bigger deal out of Bella wearing clothes than Kenji's owner being SOOOOOO blatantly MEAN to her dog

Wow...that show is seriously offensive....

I am done with it for sure.

Has anyone tried leaving a message on the message board? I tried but it wouldnt let me

MyFairLacy · 07-18-2008, 09:42 AM

I'm definitely going to go leave my opinion tonight! I'm still pissed about it

There are so many dog clothing businesses out there too...and I'm sure they wouldn't like if people didn't dress their dogs anymore...I don't even know if I'm going to watch this show anymore

I'm pretty sure I will continue to watch it just because I love the dogs and some of the owners, I don't care for the judges at all, but like I said I love the dogs. Although, my hubby did tell me after last nights episode that he doesn't want to watch it anymore, he doesn't like the judges either.

I seriously was thinking about not watching it anymore too, I never get that upset, it was just so humiliating to watch, and I can watch trash TV!

I know...I just don't know if I can support a show that has clearly insulted all dog owners who dress their dogs and shown negativity toward the dog clothing industry.

In my opinion it's like Oprah saying she wouldn't eat beef anymore years ago...the beef industry sued her because her comments hurt their industry. Not that the show should be sued..LOL..but a show about DOGS sure has shown negativity towards a lot of dog businesses and dog owners

I'm sorry but I think that show just put down all dog owners who love to dress their dogs!

I LOVE to dress my dog, my dog enjoys being dressed, and it causes her absolutely NO HARM! They made that poor lady cry because she dresses her dog

There was just no reason for that! This show and the judges ought to realize that many many dog owners dress their dogs...the dog clothing industry is HUGE...I can't believe they are wanting to alienate the dog lovers who dress their dogs

I watched the first episode but missed it last night and from what you said I'm glad I did. I didn't care for the show at all when I watched it. I thought it might be something good to see when I saw all the hype before it started....nah!! Dog Whisperer for me!!lol

I havent watched it yet but i would be totally mad if i saw that too!! i would say to the judge "so should kids be naked too? should be not dress them up? we were born without clothes too you know" what kind of judge would say that...

Sookie · 07-18-2008, 10:46 AM

I was totally annoyed too!!

It bothered me even more because Bella Starlet was so well behaved and it was an obedience challenge!! It's a personal decision to dress or not dress your dog and either once should be respected. Who made Victoria Stillwell the know all and be all when it comes to making that decision?!?

I'm going to go post too!
