Ok I don’t understand how we got from the original Question About Contracts into a foo foo dog Contest!!
So I will ask Again
WHY A Contract????
Do you use the limited registration Clause on the papers until the dog has reached What you feel is the Buyers obligation?
Do you purchase your Dogs on a contract? On a Co Ownership and if not WHY?
Now I have a Couple more Questions I would like Answers to From a SHOW breeder!
How long can your Dogs last in the field? Can they run all day? Is this not part of the Standard?
Another Question I have is Do you Feel that the Show breeder has bred the hunt out of their Dogs and if No Give Examples?
Why have the Show Breeders Done this?
Where is the FORM and FUNCTION?
How many people are there that would have the money or time to campaign a show dog, and campaign their field dogs at the same time.
More than you may think! Here in the Northwest it is a lot harder Granted, But What about in the East or the South Where you can hit a trial and show in the same weekend!
Oh That’s right they might get scratched up and the judges Don’t like that Do they??
WHY? How does havin a few Scratches Show that the Dog Does not have the proper Conformation? Would seem to me that it would show that maybe Just maybe this Dog is the real Deal!!!!!!
You know I have heard all the Stories from Trialers about Buddy Judging Man oh man they aint seen nuthin till they get in the Show Ring LOL
I will ask this one Again!!!
The BEAGLE is the same breed whether is competes in conformation or field so don't you think they should have both abilities and conformation?
Don't we all wish, but unfortunatlly it is doubtfull if we will ever see those days again.
WHY? How do you figure? Is it because the Show breeders refuse to stay true to the breed? That they are trying to change the dog to meet the fancy? How is this bettering the breed? I hear that all the time!
How is breeding the hunt out of the beagle bettering the breed?
.
It is that angulation that gives field bred Beagles the unbealivable reach that they have. This is also the reason that almost always selling a show pup to field homes doesn't work out. The show pup simply can't keep up with a well bred pack of field Beagles, so guess what it does when the pack gets on a track?? It falls behind and quits!! So the field owner says the show pup can't run a rabbit.
Well in most cases it can, just not at the same speed as the rest of their dogs.
Ok So What you are saying here is that There ARE Two Separate Breeds of Beagle?????
Then Why is their Just one Standard????
Shouldn’t the Show Beagle be the Same as the Field beagle?
So are you saying the field beagles have conformation for the purpose in wich they were developed for?? If so why aren't you (and other show breeders) conforming to the standard??rather than trying to change the breed for the fanciers.
