The Dog Show World

If you love to talk about your dogs – you’re a know-it-all.

If you don’t talk about dogs –

you know nothing.

If you stop to chat at a show –

you’re a show off.

If you don’t – success has gone to your head.

If your dogs are at all the shows – you’re not letting others in on the wins.

If you’re absent – you’re afraid of the competition.

If your dog wins – you know the judges.

If you don’t win – it’s obvious your dog isn’t quality.

If you win and thank the judge -you’re playing politics.

If you lose and congratulate the winner – you’re a hypocrite.

If you lose and don’t say anything -you’re a poor sport.

If you’ve been breeding for less than 20 years – you’re a newcomer.

If you’ve been breeding for more than 20 years – you need to get out of the way of the up-‘n-comers.

If you use your own stud dog – you’re kennel blind.

If you go outside for stud services – you don’t think much of your own breeding.

If you sell most of your puppies – you’re trying to flood the market.

If you keep most of your puppies – they’re not good enough to sell.

If you keep your health testing

up-to-date – your lines are full of problems.

If you don’t check for every condition known – you’re irresponsible.

If you choose to mentor or offer “free” advice – you’re arrogant.

And finally, if you keep your opinions and knowledge to yourself – you haven’t learned a thing!
