Would you do this.....

I know a woman who was raised with show dogs. Even though she thinks it's silly, she's still connected and I have been to a couple events with her. First and foremost, it's obvious is these poor dogs are just objects to the people. They could be at a car show. I love dogs but would rather just enjoy them being dogs.

I guess that could be true for some people but here are some pics of my sister and her dog Frost. He is currently the #1 Irish Wolfhound in the Country-possibly in the world,although I`m not positive on that. I think you can see from the pics that he is not just an object to my sister. (I still think she`s crazy for the unbelievable dog show schedule that she keeps-and has for 45 years....) I should add,too,that I get all of my sister`s I.W. friend`s feeds on my FB and these people are NUTS about their dogs. Most people don`t go on about their kids or even grandkids the way these people go on about their dogs....

As a former dog groomer,I would say that these dogs were groomed this way for some sort of a contest or competition. Nobody would have the time or patience to keep their dog groomed like this for every day. This would require hours and hours of work. I guess my biggest objection would be the many hours the dog would have to stand to allow for the grooming and dyeing. But then,show dogs stand for long hours of intense grooming for shows nearly every week of their lives.

People who show of their kids and dogs that way are abusive, imo!

I wouldn`t do it but I don`t really see it as abusive. I`m talking dogs here-not kids. Whole different ballgame. But abusive,to me,is seeing how many dogs live their lives alone in a backyard...or even worse,chained up in a yard.....with their only human contact being the bowl of food tossed to them once a day(IF they`re lucky)

Love the puppies!!!
 
Mrs. Robinson said:
They are cute,huh? There were 5 in that litter-not sure why one didn`t make the pic. She kept one. They rarely have puppies-I think in the 45 years she`s been doing this,they`ve only had 6 litters-if that. Mostly they sell semen worldwide lol.

Exactly what goes on at my friend's home. She raises and shows borzois. Her husband told me he was wadding through a puddle of puppies. Her sister sells semen, too, which supplies us with a lot of jokes. You know, we might have been at some of the local shows, although I haven't gone in years.

Oh I love these dogs!! If ever I am blessed with another dog, I want a big guy;) I LOVE those Guardian Dogs, the Pyranese? (splg) but I guess they are bread to be work-dogs. I'd sure like having one to love though.

I can pretty much guarantee that your friend knows my sister-after all,they both show in the Hound group! We had a Borzoi years ago-well,my mom did. My mom bred her and I kept her at my house while she whelped and raised the puppies because I had more room than my mom did-and was home all day back then. Does your friend live in the same area as you? My sister lives in San Martin,so not far from you.

My friend,who is a Vet and lives not too far from you,breeds Great Pyrenees. I know her daughter had one of her pups and didn`t use her as a working dog so I guess they do OK if they`re not working. Some breeds are just not hapy unless they`re working but the Pyr`s may not be one of them.
