Not only did some ignorant adult provide this completely erroneous information (sort of reminds me of an urban myth, it is so "out there") but these kids are going to share this "knowledge" with heaven knows how many other who will in turn grow up believing it is true! >> I have a junior handler, she's darn proud to show off "her" boy....she makes sure EVERYONE within listening distance knows "da facts". (Whether they want to or not). At one show, we were watching juniors (she wasn't entered that day) and knows quite a few of them from the Junior Handler list & shows. She had just come out of the ring with her Corgi Special. One guy with another CWC didn't believe she showed GSD's - so she brought him out and gave everyone around her a lesson in the standard! She then proceeded to work him outside the judging area, impressing the guy who'd been talking to her. (Not sure if he really cared about the dog, but he did ask her out). I used to tease her what was she gonna do once she started dating - would she still want to show dogs? She said of course, and now has 2 young men in juniors vying for her attention. One of the young men invited her to set up her grooming area next to him so they could be together. I would call that a date, you think? But her first love is my boy that she shows.
