What you should do is read the topic. When you have something other than bile to contribute please join us. I did contribute but you said I didn't count cause I have a minority breed, of course this was before you showed your hand.

well if we are being blunt I have been wondering what the temperament is of the OP's dog that everyone else's dog has to be kept well away? Surely the rescue wouldn't have sold a dog into this situation (small area, several other dogs living very close by) without making sure the dog was ok to live in that enviroment?

SBT's and he's full of sour grapes... I'm guessing my dog is one that he's taking a shot at :laugh: Does your dog have yellow eyes? This may it it folks. :laugh: so you started this thread just to have a go a one person and their dog. Sour grapes big time.

So dougie is back then?

WooHoo. Must start organizing Easter. Yes looking forward to it very much!

well done BB and Ruby. Miss Ferny did pretty good as well, title next year.

and to think I was chastised for wondering if it was a case of sour grapes

about time!

Bronsonw maybe it would be best if you bowed out of this conversation. You might mean well but.....???

So Fixer what breed do you show?

me too, I can really believe Caz is feeling as if she is going insane, it's just so wrong.

Time to name and shame them I think. So the good ones don't get caught up in this totally avoidable incident.

Buddy was 14 how long did they think he could stand there? OMG the horror of it all, Caz, once again I am so, so sorry.

yep sue her, that is not to be tolerated, wipe her out.

It wasn't a comment it was a question as it has been shown time and time again that these types of threads are usually started by someone who has been beaten by, in their eyes, a vastly inferior dog. One could probably say those with one dog entry breeds don't really have the experience to comment on the subject. :rofl:

Dilute Domino? There is an afghan colouring known as Domino. Genetically her colour is called Sable. But different breeds have different local names for the same genetic colours. Sable in Borzoi may be called Black Fringed Red in Salukis, and Red in greyhounds (although clear red is a different gene). Most fawn greyhounds are genetic Red - they lack the black overlay that comes with Sable. Lilli - the colour you refer to is most likely Agouti. yes I think that is it. Genetics is so very interesting!

but some of these these things can be only in the eye of the beholder. Someone else may look at the dog and love the bone in that dog. If the sum of the dog is greater, in the judges opinion, then the minus (i.e. light eyes) then of course they will put them up. Sour grapes fixer?

I have only ever asked a handful of judges for a critique and it has always been with the current litter I bred. All have been happy to oblige and I make it clear I had bred all the dogs they had judged :D The chance to show under a judge who has actually bred and shown greyhounds is too rare not to pick their brains. Not sure I would ask if I was in a more popular breed and up against others.

sorry SAS for going OT

Officially she is a red fawn. An afghan person told me once they would consider her a dilute diablo? Dilute something. Has a lot of black hairs through her coat, think in pugs that means smutty :laugh: Has had 12 pups to 2 sires. 3 brindle, 4 white & brindle, 2 blue brindle, 1 white & blue brindle and 2 white & blue fawn. Licorice allsorts for sure :laugh:

Fern at 12 months, her black has faded now at the age of 6.

Red greyhounds can have that widows peak too, Fern had it. Yep a real cutie.

oh God, I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Buddy.
