Seasonal Greetings to you too Em ... also to all those who know me and all those who don't! Warm wishes and all the best for 2009 and may you babies run fast and safe! Ron.
As a 'Newcomer' perhaps I'm in a position to commenst on how this type of debate might impact the new kids on the block!
My name is Ron Copsey, I have three Whippet pups and have been training them at Andover.
I've read much on this site but rarely comment as it appears that differing or...
She was my favourite too! Still is!! Although I can't wait to see some recent shots of Roxy and Violet. Lily (was Honey) is a fantastic girl - confident, keen, smart, agile, brave and soooo good looking but by far she is my most clever Whippet and runs rings round Biba who I got the same say as...
Magnificent pictures of Jnr Carol - such a striking dog and he looks well fit! Lovely to see my darling Lily up there on screen ... as you know, she is a joy to me and a credit to you. We are just back from a long walk and they are all crashed out - peace at last!!
I must try and work out this...
You have totally missed the points raised! And what you have to say about the pedigrees and insurance makes no sense and is suspiciously defensive on behalf of the KC!
The programme makers obviously know that a lot of good breeding and dog ownership is out there but they only had an hour to...
It's NOT SLANDER when the breeders themselves admitted they cull these puppies claiming they are "not the breed standard". Also I have friends who are vets and they have all been asked to cull perfectly healthy pups who do mot have the Ridge! I think the programme was spot on! More needs to...
Personally I think it is about time The Kennel Club was challenged about its attitudes and behaviour! I think the programme did NOT go far enough!
I have bought three new KC reg puppies in the last year and I was plagued by their aggressive insurance sales teams DAY AND NIGHT even when I had...
Sorry if my comments offended you. I'm not tarring all with the same brush as you suggest - I simply expressed MY view based on MY experience and said "in general" with regard my thoughts on how show dogs are often kept and owned! Of course I know that some show dogs are kept well and loved...
The programme last night rightly showed that dog showing is a multimillion pound industry and that will corrupt!! I've 'showed' dogs myself and I know how bent it is - we all kow how bent it is - too much has been ignored. I really don't believe that show dogs, in general, have good lives and I...
A DIFFERENT VIEW. A man-written breed standard is NONSENSE - only God can determin what a creature, including us, should look like. The silly and frivolous persuit of perfection in dogs and dog showing is, in my opinion, as outdated as the Miss World contest and should be banned - Not least for...
