Good for you Molly.There is nothing that will turn people off quicker than someone who thinks they are better than someone else. Be rude to someone and 10 to 1 they will be gone. You can bet your bippy on that. We need new people desperately.

Congratulations Kathy - if their was a prize, you won. This is what it should be about - those people would have been so proud. And I whole heartedly agree with you Kathleen. These are not just commodities, inanimate objects in the ring to be dissected. And every dog in there is loved, I hope. Was in the same boat with a lady at our show in Houston last fall. She showed her own, chain leash and collar, but oh did she love that gal. My friend and I applauded for her and chatted to her after. Nice lady - she is looking for a more competitive dog now but at least did not get turned off.
