ttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=317&item=5934163947&rd=1 eeeew.... For some reason, Leo's person reminds me of one of those people who cannot spell the name of their breed of dog.... Combine bad spelling with just plain stooopid information... and I cannot contain my eyes from rolling! Fortunately, I'm here alone at my puter, and if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have known. ;-) This auction is just sooooo.... stooooopid!! Show line dogs are bred to working dogs to keep them "from looking TOO UGLY"??? Is this in a handbook somewhere? Is there a point system on ugly? How can you tell your dog is too ugly? (Perhaps it's just understood that it must be ugly if it's getting high scores?? Kind of like shoes... if it looks very fashionable, you know it's gonna make your feet hurt?) If there is no perfect GS out there in ebay-land... Leo's person "will consider a good female poodle with a nice pedigree"?? (Was in really necessary to say FEMALE poodle? And excuse my ignorance, but what would be the benefit of the poodle having a NICE pedigree? Wouldn't the NICE part be made moot by breeding to a GSD?) "Does not make any cents to me to check Leo for hip problems" EVERYone knows human athletes never have any health problems, no diabetes, no cancer, not even tooth decay (!!) why would dogs? ;-) Truthfully, what the owner actually meant was it costs (dollars &) cents to have Leo checked for hip problems, which they don't have. ;-) Isn't it kinda sick how much fun it can be to pick on people you don't know?
