Hi That wasnt my point,and getting personal doesnt change the issue,My point is that other people are pointing out how expensive,but its your choice, At least if a dog is doing a job it gets a reward,if its a custom dog it gets ball,but in the case of showing the dog gets no reward.As far as breeding,at
one time it was thought to be good for the bitch to have at least one litter,but that hs changed as people gain more knowledge.I have seen what happens behind a show ring,arriving at about 6am the dog is combed and primped,put in a cage,taken out on occasions,shown in various classes back to its cage great for the dog being in a cage all.day.I am not a fan,I believe that dogs are bred for various jobs and they are happier doing something even if it isnt the original job.So because a question was asked and a Pet Owner had the audacity to ask if she should breed or not,Someone then started going on about Pet Owners making out that they probably shouldnt do it as they hadnt the know how and I am then told I'm stupid,I was asked in a thread about showing,I do not wish to show agility yes fly ballyes but definately not showing . So because my opinion doesnt match yours,I am regarded as being stupid.I was trying to find someting on the net,after channel 4 exposed the horrors of breeding and showing,a survey was done re ordinary Pet Owners from a well known store asking about breeding and showing 88% were against showing and it wasnt quite as high on the breeding.Gemini54
OMG! Do you genuinely believe what you are writing?

Do you think a dogs stands in the ring for nothing?
No reward? Do you REALLY think they carry themselves the way they do, and move the way they do because they" have" to? Seriously??

Correct, but you seem to think its ok dont you?
I have seen what happens behind a show ring,arriving at about 6am the dog is combed and primped,put in a cage,taken out on occasions,shown in various classes back to its cage great for the dog being in a cage all.day.
Ive never arrives at ANY show at 6.00am. However I would like to believe that you took considerable time on your Afghan, which wouldnt be minutes now would it?? No shows too, imagine that, all that primping and not going anywhere!
I believe that dogs are bred for various jobs and they are happier doing something even if it isnt the original job.
Everybody KNOWS dogs were bred to do jobs, thats why they are here at all. You contradict yourself again by saying they are happier doing something if not their original job. What is showing then?
So because a question was asked and a Pet Owner had the audacity to ask if she should breed or not,Someone then started going on about Pet Owners making out that they probably shouldnt do it as they hadnt the know how and I am then told I'm stupid,
No, you are wrong again, you do not read. **sighs**
So because my opinion doesnt match yours,I am regarded as being stupid
No, you are acting stupid by what you are writing. Contradictory, ill informed and ridiculous.

So what? I dont like agility. I dont like flyball, I HATE dancing with dogs, doesnt mean those that enjoy it cant do it does it? I damn well know that none of them give a monkeys whether I agree with it, if they enjoy it, why would they?? Likewise, what your opinion of showing, or that of others, holds no interest for me, because "I" enjoy it.
