  How do you feel about dogs shows and why?

  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/photo.php?pid=166502&op=1&o=global&view=global&subj=1482405809&id=1482405809 When I was raising and showing dogs, a back yard breeder was a “small outfit” as compared to big breeding kennels. Now it seems that back yard breeder means the same as “puppy mill”. I am sorry to see that, as some of us small breeders did a good job with learning genetics, bloodlines, and all the other things a good breeder needs to do right to improve the breed as well as raise healthy pets.

  I want to find who my parrot came from?

  @A Beaverhausen. Parrots hatched and raised in the United States, that is- captive bred companion birds, have closed bands. Wild caught, imported parrots have open bands. Ajax was raised by a professor who taught at the Gainsville (FL) Vet College, so she has a closed band.

  How do you feel about dogs shows and why?

  I raised and showed Shar-Pei dogs for many years. I was considered a back yard breeder because I did not raise my dogs in kennels, but in the house. (Whelping crate in the kitchen, etc.) Even though I only raised 1 or 2 litters a year, many of my babies were show ring winners and wonderful family pets for many people. I never sold a puppy before it was house broken. Never did I have a puppy returned to me for medical or behavior or any other reason, even though that was made clear to every puppy buyer. crisw is right- many of us who show dogs are not stuffy, or rich, or obnoxious people. Dog shows, especially breed specific (as opposed to AKC) shows are fun, with all of us teaching and helping each other. The people enjoy them and the dogs enjoy themselves.
