And YLL---could I get one of those cookies????:p
And stay in school, learn proper English, and MANNER's would be at the top of the ''ahem'' list...
I will nth it!!!!Quote:
And Cali, I would think twice about calling people's dogs brainless. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!
:mad:
And I am saying this b/c I have seen your behaivor all over the board like this. This instance is just one of a zillion.
yeah i feel bad for chinese crested dogs
Why are so many threads lately turning into arguments?
because little kids these days dont know how to reply with out offending people by dissing their dogs.
please stop. I have asked Karen to close this thread. There's no reason to insult anyone, no matter who started it.
wolfie this would have been a wonderful discussion if someone wouldn't have started calling people's dogs names. I am sorry it turned into an argument but people should THINK before they TYPE. myself included.
I used to feel that way too. But both my girls with all their hair will go outside on a 90degree day and lay in the sun:eek:Quote:
I used to feel sorry for the huskies, etc here in AZ, until I became a groomer. Then I learned that a dog's coat acts like an insulator. Keeps them cool in summer, warm in winter. It's the thick coated breeds that get shaved down that I feel sorry for. No protection from buggies, the sun, stuff like that.
Goofy girls!
Please don't have her close this thread over one persons comments.
I too have noticed Shayna bashing show dogs all the time and have been iritated by some/alot of comments. Although i would NEVER own a show dog i do not "Hate" them. Each to their own though.
Elvis thanks you from the bottom of his precious working dog heart for that, because they are not bred for "Looks", if working dogs were bred for looks they would no longer have the ability to work as well as purely working dogs. :DQuote:
I, personally, have ALWAYS thought "working" BC's aren't the pretiest things, some of them look like cross breeds and nothing like what the breed is supposed to look like today.

In my eyes he is perfect. :D
And yes i do feel sorry for short muzzled dogs, a friend of mine has two Pugs and the breathing problems they have is shocking during Summer.
I feel worse for dogs that are living on the streets, or ones who have abusive owners, most show dogs are loved incredibily!
Dogs are no different than we humans. Some of us have royal lineage and some of are just folks. Some of us are healthy and some of us have medical issues. Some of us are smart and some of us not so bright. But in the great scheme of things...aren't we all just humans? And aren't our dogs all just canines, and our cats just felines. And at the root of it all, don't we all just need to be loved and cared for regardless of our lineage, health or IQ?
The sad part is, whether we are human, canine, feline...or whatever, we are not always judged that way.
I do feel for certain breeds in their proclivity to certain conditions. I had a cocker with chronic ear problems. I have a bichon with cataracts forming in his eyes. My sister in law had a mini doxie with a bad back. My friend's boxer had tumors.
I dont' guess it is much different than people of various ethincity having conditions exclusive to, or more so than others. ie; sickle cell in African Americans as one example. I have known a couple of people who have been afflicted with sickle cell and it is sad to see them have to deal with it. But they do deal with it, because thats the hand they have been dealt in life. Thats why we, whose pets have conditions, take care of them and do our best to make them feel better.
I am not pro or anti show. I am pro taking good care of our pets, regardless of whether they are Champions or mutts.
