7 pages of posts, oops, make that 8 (so far, and on a holiday weekend, to boot) dedicated to the OP's childishness. No wonder threads get locked....(and I just added yet another post. See, the moderators know we can't resist responding to this crap)....

I defend working people at breed shows just like I defend breed people to working people :-) There are bad (or stupid) apples in both bunches.

I apologize if I offended anybody with my conformation remark, wasn't my intention. I know it is a lot of work to title dogs in conformation and didn't want to take anything away from people work at that.

LOL Geoff no need to apologize to me I am as appalled as others when I see some of the stupid show dogs out there. I am even more appalled when people actually think it would benefit the breed to *breed* those stupid dogs.

Hell, that is why I went to a ranch and rolled the dice. I took a chance by getting a dog out of untested parents because I wanted temperament first and foremost. I lucked out - got temperament, conformation, and a dog that is OFA Good, Pennhip 90%, PRCD Clear, OFA normal elbows, and BAER'd bi-lateral hearing. Could have gotten a pig in a poke but at least I was reasonable confident that I would have gotten an *intelligent* pig in a poke

On another working list, someone quoted this scripture in regards to kennel blind people:

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Jeremiah 5:21

I think that is pretty apropos. I hope the initial poster realizes that one has to go beyond frou frou discussion if they are going to be able to objectively evaluate their dog. That is why forums such as Leerburg are valuable. No one is going to blow sunshine up your a$$ on this site

Don't worry, I'm not.

My dog is from show lines, isn't smart enough to do an AKC basic obedience and I'm not interested in showing him. Did I mention he's not a GSD? Still, I come here and try to learn as much as possible to be the best owner/trainer I can be. These days I even chime in whenever I think I can be of some help.

The OP needs to print out this thread and go see her shrink... he'll know what to give her.

Hey Ladies
I never dreamed that women could be so Bitchy in there comments to another. Heh, Heh

I want to make a serious reply here. I bought my 9 week old working line GSD puppy in March 2006. In May 2006 I joined this board. There was a time when I thought I bit off more than I could chew. Ed replied to my direct emails to him, and the members of this board all chimed in with advice whenever I asked for it.

My Hans is a pet. We don't do Schutzhund or protection work,and I've been clear about that. Still, everyone here has been great about talking to me and offering advice when I asked for help. And I've been known to submit a "cutesy" post or two, no one bit my head off for it. No doubt because only a few of you looked at it

Oh, and about having fun here. My family has heard me laughing out loud a number of times while reading posts here. And there is more than fun, Ed sharing stories and pictures of his son. The LEO's who share stories about their dogs.

Anna, this is a great place to be.

After reading the posts the OP made in the pedigree database forum, it seems the only fun she really wants to have is being sarcastic to others. Great thrills, yeah. She is the kind of poster that I avoided ever since the internet was made available to the public. That kind of poster makes me nauseous, literally.

So add me to the number of people who are glad she's gone from here. I feel no need to read verbal abuse and sarcasm from people I don't even know or to wade through the kind of crap she posted on that thread in pedigree database, including her stupid original post on this thread.

I'm just glad she showed her true colors before you all helped her with anything else. Deceiving kind-hearted people is a moral issue and I wouldn't want to be in her shoes.
