Now that I definitely agree with!

What about Borderjacks that have been bred specifically for competing in
agility. The dog itself might be speutered, but the parents didn't have the
same criteria....or they wouldn't have been parents (duh)


What about them? So the parents of any mixed breed should be altered
also? lol

Which is why dogs bred specifically for agility competition should compete
separately.


How on earth would you regulate that? There's a lot of breeders out
there who breed for sports like agility, breeders of AKC recognized
breeds. There's a whole lot of Border Collie breeders who breed for
sports like agility & flyball and don't even test their dogs on sheep,
should those dogs be in their own class also?

And if I'm a purebred snob I'm going to go cry on my tuffet, because now my
widdle feewings are hert!

Sheesh

It's not as if I have to agree with everyone on this group.. *And those who
have their feelings hurt about mixed breed exclusion in regular classes..
I've never historically gotten along with anyway.
Oh well...

I never said anything about anyone having to agree with anyone else. I
simply agreed with what someone said.
