Am I the only one who sees that there are several people on the list who only post in such a way as to disparage North American showdogs and their breeders and owners? That's actually a rhetorical question, since I know others see these posts and recognize them for what they are. What I'm trying to figure out is why these people are on this list..........they seem to be so intent on proving that our showdogs are not good enough for them. They don't do any research, either, it seems...otherwise they wouldn't be asking so many ridiculous and insulting questions that imply that everyone who doesn't believe as they do is a fool, a cheat, a liar, or worse. Suggest to them that they buy a book or actually spend time with some of the serious and dedicated people in the breed and they turn on you with such viciousness it's unbelievable...WHY ARE THEY HERE?
