I learned today at some local shows that Evan has recommended a DNL list. (does not love). I thought it would also be fun to start a DL list. Talk about starting rumors! LOL. LOL. Through the years I have seen many enemies created over a dog show. It can be over "you did not clap for my dog." I have also witnessed enemies becoming friends over time, rare but it does happen. Our van was stolen at a National with dogs in it. The "enemy" was the first person to join in trying to find the dogs. They gave 200 percent and that person became a friend for life because their actions showed what kind of a person they really were. Likewise, I have seen great friendships ruined over a dog show or decision. This one is always sad- many times both parties are wrong and right; but they can't come to middle ground. We can all agree that we love this breed. That is a great place to start. Lindab ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
