[QUOTE="Star*, post: 175287, member: 4964"] I grew up in a kennel home. I knew what packing, grooming, traveling and showing was all about. My mother trained dogs for the police and gave training classes for years in obedience. She was the first person to finish a Shih-Tzu in CD and CDX titles in America and Canada. Her Shih-Tzu was the first Shih-Tzu to do so for his breed. They are in lots of dog books from the 70's and 80's. Her care and attention to breed standards for Shih-Tzu are legendary in the breed with breeders - although it's been years since we did show. I think this is also where I learned about gay men. lol. You learn more than you think in dog showing. I absolutely am out of it now and do more rescue/education/spay & neuter/ advocacy than anything else. The Pit that we have now will be our last. The breed while I am sure has it's absolutes - ours was also a "top" quality dog and he's nuts. He's great with the family - but he is what he is and nothing is going to change that. I'm in the process of writing AT&T about their newest commercial - the one where the man jumps a fence to get to a shiney cell phone guarded by 2 beautiful pits - the commercial portrays them as BAD dogs - well freaking DUH - if you jumped into a fenced in lot - (oh well I can't explain it) but the letter says it speaks ONCE AGAIN down about a breed that is BRED to do what it does JUST NOT EVERYWHERE - if you're going to raise them to pull, or to show? Great! Do that - but to get one just to "have" one and then chain it outside for it's life to BARK? - argh. And ATT - that commercial would have been LOADS funnier and more memorable if you had used tea cup poodles on logging chains to guard that phone - [/QUOTE]
