I've been corresponding with a young woman (14 years old) who is really
getting interested in owning and showing GSDs. Her Grandma has other breeds,
but
the youngster loves the shepherds. I am directing her to the PC site, (look
at the standard and just explore) and to other juniors, and telling her to
hang around the GSD rings. And more. Sadly, this was her experience at a
show
last weekend :-(
"Oh, i just went to a dog show this weekend in .......... , I learned that
sables were allowed In the AKC, which i thought were banned. I wanted to talk
to
people, but they all seemed so stuck up and looked abit "jerkish". I talked
to one person, my question was "Oh, ive never seen that color in a GSD, whats
it called?" And, well...she gave me a really dirty look and told me it was a
sable. I told my grams about it (who was looking at the havanese and
pugs currently) and she laughed and said, "you might of made fun of the dog."
I, for
one, didnt see how that was accually "making fun"
Now I know young people (or grown-up people, too) aren't always picking the
right time or ask the right questions, but can't we be kinder? I asked her to
which show she is going next, and will see if some of you will watch for her
and encourage her. Please.
