As a newbie, I don't think anyone really said anything that was harsh. They presented her with a view that was different than hers. I found it encouraging that there were people who were trying to tell her that everything had not gone to pot, there are some problems with dogs and people. But there are also good dogs and good people, and you can get what you want out of it. Any other reply would have been confirming the negativity. If she really wants answers, then she will listen. If she wants to believe whatever she wants to believe, then she will make it a self fulfilling prophecy.

Sara doesn't seem to be responding to your posts, at least not to the list. Diane ************************************************ I apologize again for bothering everyone on the list with my concerns as a new person entering the breed and show ring. To the few people who sent positive e-mails to me, I thank you. To the rest, your negativity is just too much. Truly. I wish everyone much success in their breeding programs.....
