Not me. And it's because they are PETS FIRST show dogs SECOND. Maybe some house pets don't show well, but let me tell you, if Strauss's ear had stood, and he wasn't east/west in the front, he coulda done well. He's got one heck of a show attitude! My dogs live in the house with me, no if's, and's, or but's about it. Showing is my hobby, my dogs are there for my companionship, not for me to treat them like prizes. - Jackie In a message dated 4/10/2006 3:27:02 PM Central Daylight Time, helen@xxxxxxxxxx writes: .
