Breedia Dog Forum
You have four Sisters???? But how can this be, as according to some your trend is discuss every aspect of your personal life on the forum! :017:...
I have an "old fashioned" show type, with working lines strewn in somewhere. Isla is your "hard as nails" type of Springer, sense of humour is...
That, to me anyway, goes someway to explaining the sloping topline asked for in the GSD breed standard: in order to give the dog that long flowing...
My next Lab will be a Leospring, love Carpenny Austin!
Cute dog! :049:
I once met someone in the park who was crossing Weims with Vizslak to create a new designer breed of chocolate pointers so it is a possibility, but...
In comparison to the work of a working gundog? Yes, sheepdog work and the resulting trials are predictable, that's why sheepdogs remain unchanged and...
Nice dog but certainly not symmetrically built, compact, strong, merry, active. Highest on leg and raciest in build of all British land Spaniels....
I find myself coming back to this quote mainly, I think, because the bit in bold sums up exactly what I've been trying to say all along about FT bred...

Ah so you assume because I've done some showing that I must be from a background of showing dogs and therefore not from a background of working dogs...
I come from a showing background? Is that so, news to me! :lol: The only thing that is apparent is that judging people based purely on forum posts...
Can I suggest you speak with Rory Major, as I do feel like I'm going round in circles and as I've already said, I'm not in the habit of repeating...
Not quite sure what context I'm supposed to be putting it in, I'm just quoting what he said on the day, but regardless you still seem to be missing...
Essentially yes, but also what it can mean for the breed in the long run. Breeding dogs purely for competition will lead to breeding dogs with...
I don't think it would be fair to start naming kennels I don't like, especially as they aren't here to defend themselves. I think you're...
I don't know why you're taking this so personally, I don't like FTs or the dogs they often produce, I never said I didn't like your dog or that it...
