Show vs working?

[Susan Stone]

I'd just like to say how much I would regret it if the few members interested in the working side of the breed left this site 'cause they felt their input is not welcome.
IMHO our setters have so many wonderful qualities and it is worth hearing about all of them. It would be to the detriment of this site were membership limited to only the one interest. For myself, I greatly enjoy reading about both the work and the show side. And what makes this site extra special is the possibility of sharing photographs from both spheres.

I'm afraid some people anjoy being rude just to enfuriate others. Some people seem rude due to language and/or culture differences. I prefer to give someone the benefit of doubt and assume the latter.

Just regret seeing people on this site considering the showsetter as an inferior breed, while I guess you'll find more Irish in a showring than you'll find them on a field. Well you'll find our showsetters on a field having a 2h walk twice a day. Quite convinced many people don't realise how much time and addiction it takes having a top showdog.

Ever tried one of those translation-pages on the internet?
Quite an eye-opener if you speak several languages. You can just about end up with a text meaning the oposite to what you intended.
Same with words that are the same (and mean the same) but have very different values in different countrys.
For instance SHIT.
Now we can use the word SHIT in Sweden and put it in front of for instance pretty. It then ends up meaning = VERY PRETTY.

I am quite certain that "Ugly" in this case did not refer to peoples looks. In fact I thought the wording was quite funny...:-)

I wondered about the use of Ugly also!! He did put a smiley face at the end of his discussion!!;o) So perhaps the translation was not exact!!

I will also add that Facebook has been a wonderful world,many members here & are also on there & enjoy posting results/photos amongst people who applaud eveyones efforts whether it be big/small/show/performance/working & just showing off there pets

[Susan Stone]

Of course, this site should be just that: a place for all.

Dear Aleksandra - I followed the really strange discussion, my advice is; just ignore those disrespectful person, people who just want insult others are best ignored, save your time to download pics of your phantastic dogs!! eva
