espinay2 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not a good response if you want to promote the breed in the all breeds show ring. After all a lot of people reading DOL are judges...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Maremmas & I'm struggling to see your point - what, they should be bigger? more coat? cos that's all I see from the pics - nobody here has the chance to put hands on or observe these dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Maremmas & I'm struggling to see your point - what, they should be bigger? more coat? cos that's all I see from the pics - nobody here has the chance to put hands on or observe these dogs Well, I see a lot more than that. Bigger yes, but also almond shaped eyes, excellent feathering on the legs and tail, smaller ears, absence of a snippy head, elimination of an undulating lip, and more. My point is very well reinforced by what the Italians are producing and have been producing for over a decade. "We have not kept pace with the Italians who are producing dogs that are, far and beyond, superior to our dogs. They win BIS at internationals for crissakes. On their day athey are the best dogs in the world." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Why would bulking up and increasing coat on an Australian working dog be a good thing? For someone who says he wants to protect the working ability of the breed you sure have some unusual ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (excuse the expression) don't give a fast one what you think the "Internationals" are doing & where they might be doing it (whatever "it" may be??) - I care that we have breeders, here in Australia, that are doing the very best they can to produce a sound, hardy working dog that truly represents the standard & is capable of doing what the breed originally, ought to do.
