Well, as I have said a couple of times now, I haven't seen the article...but the people who called me didn't think it was positive... some of it may be true, from what they told me, but it didn't sound like the kind of thing too many people would like to see in print about their breed...especially when it comes from someone who is not at all involved in the breed. It might be OK, for instance, if you, Joan, said the dogs were big sissies...but I don't think it's a great thing to see in print from someone whose breed is Flatcoats.............. But as I said...I haven't read it, just heard about it...and what I heard was negative.

I read the article in which he wrote on many things, and to be honest he is right in what he said, not only on our breed but many other points as well. It came out positively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
