john hubery 9 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Its a bit off topic but Chipper (Warren) off this site and myself where to run the prince bishop show again this year, but have called it off because of this very thing, we feel that the working dog shows are no longer that, and they are becoming a watered down version of the KC shows with folk taking them and themselves far to serious, the day when a show was a day out in the summer months to meet lads and lasses for a bit of crack and may be sort out a stud dog for later use have gone by the way, yes there are still good working dogmen out there but every year it gets worse and worse and we dont wish to put our names to such shows, more and more dog are being breed from show winners put to show winners and not a thought being put to working ability, I know before I post this that Im going to get slated for this but this is my opinion and for every one that slags me off I know that there will be some one that knows exactly where Im coming from Quote Link to post Share on other sites
