Interesting - I have something different happen always with me - it's AWAY from
the dog shows - people comment on what beautiful dogs I have and when I ask if
they want to pet them, they gladly do, and encourage their small (and I mean
SMALL!) children to as well, which my dogs LOVE!! But - why is this AWAY from
a dog show? I've experienced all of the things you have posted about Diane -
why is it at the SHOWS they get the "bad rap" but John Q. Public LOVES to pet
my dogs?
