Good idea, do you want to set up a wind up the show folk thread? _________________ My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

Hi all,
>>Maybe if the lab and springer show people had an idea of what the dogs were supposed to do we wouldn't have the monstrosities that pararde themselves in the ring claiming to be these once proud breeds.<<
Well that is a matter of oppinion.
When I go beating which I have done for the last 25 years I see so called working eng springers and boy are some ugly, with queen ann legs and missing pads on there feet. Some are crazy and run them selfs into the ground.
I beleive that the breed should be true dual purpose and both working and show people should work together to keep the Brittany type, healthy and trainable.
I have been in Welsh for a long time and the breed people strive to keep the breed together. I think that working people just want a dog that pops out of the wombe all ready trained. If a Brit can't swim then train it, if a Brit can't retrieve then train it, if it is gun shy then may I suggest the training wasn't right.
Remember a Brit can do many things Show, work, agility, obedence, fly ball, pat dogs and a great companion. People seem to bang on about working all the time giving other people a complex.
Guy shows his dogs and works his dogs he has lovely dogs that are happy
because they are with him what ever he dose. His dogs are very typical because he has the knowage to know what a good Brittany looks like, why because he see's good Brittanys at shows and in the French show ring.
In saying all that I also beleive that show people should go to a field trial to see what a well trainned Brittany can do, I think they would be suprised.
They weren't on fossedata when I typed them up Annie as I had checked there first. _________________ Sue, Chase and the non-Brittany boys - Brice & Piper. Pets first and foremost.
