I know there must be people reading this who have seen or were in a hurry or busy and may have been unintentionally rude to a new person. Hey take a second to politely tell them your busy at the moment and will answer their question later. You don't have to take them under your wing or parent them in the breed. you just should be polite. Fred M. I had a long time show person be VERY rude to me a few shows ago, right after I helped groom her dogs so they could get in the ring, as she was running late and had many dogs with her. Yes, I have seen her being rude to many other people, some of those never came back to shows. It does happens. And most likely it is not personal. Some people are just rude. Me? It is going to take a lot more than that to keep me away from shows......like death.....<G>.....my message to those who suffer thru this: "consider the source". Get over it, but remember it as a lesson, so you don't do the same thing to someone else later.
