I am happy with everyone who has put titles on their dogs. I think it's wonderful to find out how far they can go and how much they can accomplish. However, I do feel that there is a certain amount of insensitivity in proclaiming "sour-grapes types who whine about "having to stay at home"!!" involved. First, I would want to consider why this person needed to stay home. Perhaps there is a good reason like time, medical or financial reason. It would never occur to me to post such a thing.

These are your words:.....'All it takes is just one AKC licensed judge to give a GSDCA Select, a Grand Victor, and/or a Grand Victrix award. The dog doesn't even have to be previously pointed, let alone a champion!! ' - I do not consider someone an 'Ambassador of our Breed' who always bashes the people who support it (EVEN if they support it at specialties), - The last litter I bred alone was 4 years ago - so SELLING puppies has no influence on me, - I read post after post from you criticizing those who don't think like you.I rarely post......let all do their own thing. You so undluly criticize that I feel I have to respond, - And let me share something else with you - I don't get the 'giggles' EVER when my breed or dogs or friends are incorrectly criticized. And - BTW, I adore your co-owners and breeders of your dog. Kathy Potter ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
