OK - I was just going to ignore all of this but I couldn't. I find some of these comments unbelievable! Do you all think that we don't notice some of the things that you post regularly? Like - how about dogs who win REGULARLY under their regional judges no matter where they judge. Do you also think we 'don't get' innuendo and comments which are certainly meant to malign even though they are stated with only vague comments. There is a certain element on this list which is really harmful to our breed and the people who have supported it for years. Some of you also send posts to us privately which really are ethically inappropriate. I might suggest that we all take a deep breath and think about the feelings of our fellow fanciers. After losing so many good friends in our breed this year and having many others ill, I am so sensitive to this. I for one will take some of these comments and personal emails very seriously in the future and will take some action should they go further.
