Well, I shouldn't comment on this, because it isn't going to be pretty, but wake up folks......it's the dog world, where people are great friends so long as that other person can help them. When a 'friend' is no longer useful, all kinds of garbage hits the fan, true or not. Now, I don't personally know any of the people involved here, so I am speaking in general, but time after time, I see the same thing happen. And NO, I am not talking about every single person in dogs.....there are some who truely enjoy the sport of dogs and are true friends. I am just so sick of people being so sweet to a person's face and then stabbing them in the back as they walk away. Yup, I'm getting cynical in my old age, or maybe because I'm not showing and just sitting back watching, I see more of it. And, one more observation.....It's so easy to find fault in others (dogs & people), but somehow the same people can't seem to see the same thing right in their own kennels and in themselves.
