Once again... I concur!

I don't see anything wrong with a good healthy discussion. Most people are looking openly at both sides.

I personally am glad when people state that they don't want a sheltie. I don't want everyone everywhere to own one. They are not for everyone. Just like other breeds.

And just because I list a breed I don't want to own, doesn't mean that I would pass up on a dog for only that reason. That's just silly. I don't think anyone who's posted here would do that.
Sometimes we have to not take things so literally, and read between the lines a little.
