WHAT A DOG SHOULD MEAN TO ALL OF US

[Claire Prangle]

Be sure your ego can handle going from hero one day to zero the next your dog is still a magnificent specimen- win, lose or draw. Remember that, appreciate him for that, and love him because he is yours.

Love him not for his looks and what he can do for you, but for his ’heart ‘because he will give this to you unconditionally

I picked this up whilst reading a magazine in the U.S.A and thought it was great and that it would be nice to share it with other members on this site, hope you like it as much as I do?

So apt........love it.

[Catherine Carter]

Claire, I like it very much....to me it means that when you take a dog to live with you , he or she becomes part of your family and you don't go and discard him/her when the winning in the Showring stops (for whatever reason)! This is very well written by the unknown author! Thank you for sharing this with us.....

Super sentiments Claire......thanks for sharing xxx

[Dee Rance]

Thanks for sharing Claire, I am sure that we all take the best dog to the show (or whatever) and bring the best dog home with us, if a certain judge doesn't see that well that is their problem not yours or his/her, as it says love them for what they are, some should remember that....;o)) and I agree with Catherine too..

[Myra Thomas-Rhodes]
