These type of persons always tell you what you want to hear: What a beautiful dog you have etc. These type of persons usually do not offer constructive criticism, do not tell you what grooming products they use nor what foods they feed their dogs.... These type of persons are slow to congratulate you when you win........... ----------------------------------------------------- This does not sound like an acquaintance, it sounds like an enemy. An acquaintance is a person whom you see on occasion, as at a dog show, but not socially, as in "Lets do lunch". An acquaintance can be a pleasant, accommodating person when the need arises... Just my very unimportant opinion.
