Say No To Silver Labs

[TORNER RETRIEVERS]

why. WHO says that they must fit the breed stardard?.

ALL KENNEL CLUBS IN THE WORLD!!!!! COME ON.

and why should I listen to them or you?

i don't recall ever telling you who to listen to. i just gave my point of veiw, and i'm trying to do something about according to where i stand on silverlabs.

why are only you guys correct and the people with dogs that can actually DO the work wrong?

i've never seen a silverlab doing their job. no one is saying that if it's not a black, or yellow or chocolate lab, it can't do the work. even mutts can do the work.

please enlighten me as to why my whippet built, flop eared, extra fine boned border collie cant herd?

where the heck did you get that? noone said anything about dogs and their retrieving skills. if you want a herding dog, pick any dog with the skills for it.

and please explain how conformation has imporoved the bearded collie, and wehn people see then bouncing and barking at sheep the response is "oh thats how they are supposed to herd" thats odd because actually beardies were originally more like a wire coated BC and worked like BCs, in fact the 2 breeds used to be freely interbred.

i wouldn't know about bearded collies. sorry.
i do know about recognized colors in labs. we're talking about labs remember?

obviously we are talking about labs, I am relating the same logic to breeds I am far more familer with.

and by the way. not all the kennel clubs in the world say that, only the conformation clubs say this. big difference.

you are by the way the very first coformation person I have EVER heard admit that dog shows are beauty contests, I was in shock I most certainly agree dog shows ARE beautys contests, but well most conformation people deny it lol

i don't think they relate as well to the silverlab controversy, since silverlab are not bred to improve retrieveing skills.

i asumed you knew i was tlaking about conformation kennel clubs.

well, at least as far as i know, when it's an all breed or specialty that does not ask for hunting tests to win, it is a beauty show.
