nicely put Debbie * Ileana * Love me, love my dogs. In a message dated 6/29/2012 7:36:13 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, DOGSRLUV@xxxxxxx writes: Here is what I think is the problem. Why not show them? It is a fault of coat, not DQ, not serious just a fault of coat. So is an open and or curly coat but they are shown and win all the time! If they are so wonderful for the breed otherwise, why not? Show me a ring full of dogs at any dog show and I will point out their faults? They all have them, everyone out in the ring. Some serious but they win! So, if long coats are so wonderful, why not show them? Again, I am not necessarily a fan of the special class but it certainly is bringing out the passion in people and that is not a bad thing. Just think about the fault and if they are Wonderful in a breeding program then why is it so awful to show them???? Deb In a message dated 6/29/2012 2:51:24 P.M.
