And for the record I dont prance!!!! I have to agree about the breeding pets topic here - if you are going to breed then why not breed to as close to the breed standard as possible - its there for a reason - a certain breed should LOOK like what it is.......thats the point!
Also keeping dogs in a kennel only and never doing anything with them would not then later prane around a ring - so maybe the majority show people work even harder to make sure our pets are happy at shows!
