> I suggest you get info on the people first before you ACCUSE them of being bad breeders. Breeders can't predict what the dogs look like, and just because they parents have show quality features does not mean that the pups are going to be show dogs. I hate the fact that people forget what it means to have a dog: it is a special bond where both parties contribute unconditional love and affection. Who cares if someone docks a tail? Who cares if the dogs markings aren't perfect? And who cares if the dog doesn't have show quality attributes? Obviously, we all know the answer to that: people who are in it for the prizes, the money, and the attention. People who truly love their dogs (whether it be a show or pet quality dog) will love a dog unconditionally. So, whoever you are that posted this message, I can tell that you are not one of those people! I feel sad for the dogs you own or have come in contact with.
Mr. Boston,
Hadn't seen you posting for some time. Glad you are still with us. I would agree with your post above except for the docked tails. MHO; I'm against any unnecessary surgical procedures for a dog, family pet or show. Our prior B.T. was a rescue with a 3.5 inch tail that was so expressive. Our current is near show quality with only a nub of a tail. Neither were surgically altered in that area.
