Huhhh... great. Just perfect.

Actually the point of showing isn't to identify what dogs should be bred.. (atleast in my opinion) But well, it's her dog, and not yours, and maybe she wasn't fit to be a show dog.

ACTUALLY Bri, that is the point, and maybe before saying that to me, since I know what I'm saying about showing, you should do some research. And she's my co-dog, that means I own her too. She is fit to be a show dog, perfectly, and we agreed to have her be a show dog, not only a pet.

Don't take this post to offence because it wasn't meant to offend you.

Actually...that is the whole point, lol. To show which dogs fit the standard the most and should be bred.

I'm sorry that she spayed her without contacting you...you could always do some other sport with her And you still have your other "show dog".

I'm not really into any other dog sports. I used to be into agility, but now I'm in comformation and I don't want to show her in any other sports.

Sure Diesel has 4-5 more years in his show career, but I don't get to practice with him and train him much. Lola is my neighbor's dog, I could train her & practice with her everyday. I can't do that with Diesel.

Okay, well.. whatever. It's not a huge deal, seeing as there will always be other dogs. You can still visit her and play with her, and maybe her actual owner thought she shouldn't be shown. Yes, it was kind of rude to not talk to you first, but hey, there are too many dogs in this world, and maybe she realized Lola wasn't breed standard enough.

I didn't mean to sound rude. I'm still gonna visit and walk her and play with her. She couldn't have realized that Lola wasn't breed standard enough, because she doesn't know as much about showing as I, and I would've been the one to notice that.

You say she's your co-dog, but did you actually sign papers, help pay for a dog, etc (things that I think a co-owner would have to do...but I really don't know about this). I also wasn't aware that minors could co-own dogs, because minors can't even legally own a dog.

No, but we were going to put my name on them but then she got spayed so now there is no point.

Everyone here has made some good points.

Life does go on. Sure, it may be irritating for you but there will be other chances, not to minimize the importance of what you said or anything. Now, you and Lola can enjoy stress free play time!

I'm sorry Lola got spayed. I would be very angry, too. Maybe you should start the discussion and ask Lisa why she spayed Lola?

Arn't you 13? That's young! There are plenty of changes for you to show. Just be happy of that experience you got, imagine that on a resume!

You can show altered dogs in juniors if you co-own the dog. Showing in AKC juniors events is a great way to meet people who need an extra hand. You'll probably end up getting experience in the breed ring anyway if you're nice and curteous to people you meet.

And I'm sorry, but there is no way you can trick an AKC judge into not knowing she's spayed. If you knew so much about conformation, you would realize how stupid and wrong that would be to even try that. It's an obvious difference to ME, so I can't imagine how it would be to someone who's had 30+ years in dogs.

You have no legal right to Lola, therefore you have no right to be upset. From the pictures I've seen of her, she didn't look like she was going to do much in the rottie ring anyway.

I dont know much about show dogs but if someone is willing to show a dog in the first place then change her mind about it then Im sure it was a good reason, Also I know if I found out someone was ranting about me online to people about the decisions on MY dog I really wouldnt be happy and I'm sure she wouldnt be either, Maybe actually talk to her about it instead of coming on here and talking about her like shes has made the wrong decision as someone has already said you dont own the dog, you Co own it so am I right in thinking the dog is with her all the time? as in her care? does she pay the vet bills? so what she does with it is completely up to her even if she did make a verbal agreement I'm sure she had a good enough reason and I'm sure she was thinking of the dogs health more than your wants of a show dog just like any other loving owner would do. You should try looking at it from her point of view I actually think she has made a very wise decision to get her spayed especially if there are many male dogs about I think I would prefer a spayed dog rather than having puppies running around.
