Katie Finlay Webboard User Reg: 07-27-2009 Posts: 1421 Loc: Southern California Offline	Quote: Charles Finley No one has told me as yet how to define a "working" or "show" line dog. I think the reason is that it is purely arbitrary and not based on any science other than personal preference. The SV does not recognize the distinction. It is the exact same mind set concerning "working" and "show" line that leads racists to say that blacks are good at track because the lions chased them around in Africa (natural slection don't you know?). Selection for appearance and conformation has occured in all GSD and I am not aware of any group that selects against athleticism or sport dog abilities. What are you talking about? We've given you the same answer multiple times on how to distinguish this. http://littlesabledog.wordpress.com/

He only wants to hear himself pontificate. Why continue...you all are like rats on a wheel...getting nowhere. MY DOGS...MY RULES

You can accept that or not as you wish. With that, I'm done! It's my birthday and this thread is just no longer fun! Betty (Waldron) Mathena http://www.littlerivercanine.com

Comparing human beings to dog breeding is completely irrelevant. From nationality to race to sexual orientation .... gratuitous, irrelevant to any discussion of dog breeding -- and, IMO, offensive, And it won't be tolerated. Racial stereotypes, regardless of the convoluted guise under which they are set forth, have no place here.
