Thank you, Christine. The statement below is the reason that I have
some objection to supporting the WDA. My dogs, personally, and of course,
all American bred dogs have been labeled in this way! It is ridiculous that
we have to put up this this kind of attitude & give them encouragement
financially. Now, I do believe that there are many in the WDA that are
not American bred prejudiced - but this statement just goes to highlight
this common attitude.
I have been breeding American conformation dogs for about 25 years - three
dogs that I bred went on to be very good Sch. dogs, and I have also bred
several dogs that became K-9 dogs at some police departments. Please -
Cynthia, don't make such blanket statements.
