Am I being unethical by not telling them the reality of most dog
shows...that they can expect to be ignored, yelled at if they get in the
double handling
zone, and hear nothing but snide comments if their dog wins? Is it that
painful to people to just try and be nice once in a while....not all the
time....but just once in a while
You know, there have been hundreds of posts in the last several weeks along
the same theme. Showing isn't "fun", showing is "too expensive", breeders
did me "wrong", breeders "tricked me" into spending money, judges can't see to
the other end of the ring, professional handlers get paid too much, etc.,
etc., etc.
If it rains tomorrow, somehow I know FOR SURE it will be the AKC's fault...
You know what? You make your own fun in life. (You make your own success
in life too, but that's not for this post.) Conversely, hang out with a bunch
of negative people just waiting for the sky to fall and you'll be negative
and miserable and cranky (too.)
Smile, get involved, put your hand out and you'll meet wonderful folks.
(OK, once in a while, you'll meet a nut, but how is that different than any
other part of life?)
There are dozens of ways to enjoy competing with a GSD IF that's what you
want to do, so go out and find one that fits the budget, get involved and quit
whining!
