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...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".

Well, yeah, but it's not the whole point..It's a big point, but that's not what I meant. lol Nevermind

Well, it's her dog, and so she has the right to decide what to do with her. She is also right about there being too many dogs already. Perhaps she just decided she didn't want to show her. As far as tricking the show judges, well obviously that's just stupid and wrong and you know it. Nobody is going to help you know how to do that. I'm sorry you are so angry, but she wasn't your dog in the first place, and breeding her wouldn't have given you the puppies, they would have belonged to her actual owner, so I don't really see why you are so angry. If someone had spayed your dog, okay I could see it, but she wasn't your dog. And putting work into it and getting her ready to show, still taught you plenty about how to go about it, so you didn't come away with nothing, unless you choose to see it that way.

Once again, she was 1/2 my dog, my co-dog. And since she was my show dog she should have discussed it with me first. Sure maybe Lola is her pet, but she's my show dog so it should have been discussed between us, and that's why I am so angry. And yeah, I did learn a lot, but that doesn't mean its going to pay off with Lola. I took my time and my energy to train her and now its gone to no use.

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.

I was thinking the same thing. And doesn't the co-owner usually care for the dog? It is the breeder who has the rights to take them back, breed them, show then when ever they want but the co-owned dog usually lives with the co-owner.

I also agree with some of the others. Sure she should of talked it over with you but there could of been underlaying issues that prevented her from being of decent show quality.

**sigh** You don't understand. If there was some issue she would have discussed it with me first.

well said.. in all honesty I am glad she got her spayed..why are you angry she got her spayed? not to offend you but there are a lot of problems an unspayed dog can have believe it or not and plus it helps stop the pet overpopulation problem.

[cyber-sibes]

I can understand you feel cheated out of your opportunity. Life will bring you many such experiences. Best to accept it and grow. Lola is a better dog because of the training. You are a better handler for the experience. Let it go. Stay honest. Look at the bigger picture.

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.

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.

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

[Sevaede]

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_rescue]

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?
