honestly I feel sorry for every single show bred dog. because they are bred crippled on PURPOSE, they are bred to look pretty and thats it, who cares if they can move? show bred greyhounds would fall apart if they tried to run, police and anyone who used GSDs for work NEVER use show bred dogs, because they cant work, they are bred to stand on their hocks for some crazy reason er rather, but german GSDs have the ability to work and to walk. show bred labs drive me up the wall, those dogs are so fippin fat and bulky they they would have a heart attack if they had to do actual work. then their are all these breeds with smashed faces, everyone I know who does not know the names of the smashed faced breeds, describe them to me like this "those dog that look like they ran into a wall" I feel sorry for those. then their are corgies, bred now with such a long back its painful to look at. nearly all show bred dogs are bred to the extreme bulk so much that they could never do what they were bred to do. they are bred only for looks, for the most part show dogs are rather brainless but people delude themselves into thinking a their show dogs are ever so smart, and if given the chance they could work with the best. right... sorry but give those show dog to the top working trainers and they cant get them very far at all. I truly feel sorry for any and all show bred dogs.
Why are you always bashing show dogs? We don't ever bash your working dogs, so why bash other peoples dogs! This isn't the first time you have done this either and it's REALLY anoying, not to mention down right RUDE. Maybe the show dog's you have met are brain dead, but most aren't and I do NOT apreciate your comment about them being stupid!

My mom has a Sheltie who she got from a breeder. He was BRED to be a show DOG (not barbie thank you very much). He has TONS of herding instinct! I bet if I spent a couple of hours with him he would learn to herd like a pro. He has tried to herd cats, people, dog's, rats, and bunnies. He is REALY good to, so I do NOT apreciate you bashing him. Most breeders try to keep the herding instinct in there dog's and WILL use them for working.

I REALLY think you need to come off your "Border Collies are the best breed ever and all other breeds stink expessially if they acctually look nice and what the breed is now supposed to look like" campaign.
