I agree with that wholeheartedly (presumably you are talking about the humans involved)----I am not one of those people who thinks that there is nothing wrong with their chosen dog based activity! I think some outfits are totally off the wall and OTT!

This is OT so apologies DD.

But as has already been stated, flashy coats winning shows mean people breed for more and more flashy coats
Well spotted

But it will affect what wins and as a consequence this will affect what is then bred......
