When critters come here, they stay here until their time comes, no matter what.
I’m not keen on subjecting myself or my dogs to the treachery that often goes on at dog shows.
I used to go as a spectator and just listening to the breeders snarking at ring side was enough bile for me.
Yep....for a lot of the people who are into the show thing, it seems to be all about ego-—look at my ribbons! look at what my dog won!-—instead of the animal itself. I love a beautiful pure breed; my favorites are German Shepherds, Dobermans, Malamutes, and Huskies. But I also adore mutts from the pound who couldn’t win a ribbon if their lives depended on it.
I agree with you——a pet is a lifetime commitment.
