Colorado Show, Trial, AD and Körung -SV Judge Arth - Page 3

What is the problem here? Arguing over fecal floats? Come on, there are living, breathing beings we are talking about NOT labratory mice which must live in sterile environments. I can see that all of our animals need to be healthy and free from parasite, as best we can keep them. But, we are dealing with an animal who was once a predator. As with many predators, the most scrumptious part of the meal is what is left in the digstive tract of the host meal! Animals thrive every day in the wild as predators, and are in better condition than the beloved house dog because their survival depends on how they are physically. hodie, I have found, in my recent search of your posts, that you are just a control freak. You and your collection of dogs listed. I discovered this site just a short time ago, and all of your posts seem to bash someone. Is this to boost your own ego? That is what it seems! When will people get the picture? YOU are the president and sole operator of a rescue organization? Does the title of 'president' mean anything? You are the president of your own working club? Are you also the founder and supreme coller of that club because they meet at your 'state-of-the-art' facility? Are your club members new and gullible to your command? YOU are a rescue organization and also a breeder? How much sense does that make? What will happen when you have a potential problem, or cannot control what happens with your own puppies? Or will you be one of those breeders asking $4,000-6,000 for puppies? How many litters have you had? How many of those litters have been accidental litters? You have enough dogs listed that I'm sure you have had your own share of accidents and learning experiences!!! You need to go to therapy! It is okay to admit that you are wrong at times. You need to find out why you are constantly feeling the need to jump all over someone else to bring a upper level status to yourself. Are you an expert in this breed? It doesn't matter what one has accomplished, as it does to you, but it does matter if one is satisfied with him/her self. You on the other hand need to poke and prod at someone else to make yourself look better and to satisfy your own ego.

Wildcats, I take it then that you will not be entering our show? No problem. As for the rest of your diatribe, I should not dignify it with a response. People who know me know who I am, how few in the GSD community in this state have done little if anything to rescue unwanted GSDs, how and why I started my own club, how and why I built my facility and will also know that I have bred two well-though out litters in my life. People who know me know that some of the dogs listed are rescues who will live here the rest of their life as several others will for a variety of reasons who are not listed. Most of the dogs I have on my website are excellent examples of the breed and in training for Schutzhund and Conformation and I paid good money for them after careful deliberation about what I wanted and who I was dealing with. As for what happens with my own litters, no one is more careful in placement than I am. With more than 400 GSD rescue placements, not one has ever come back because I took the time to be thorough in finding a home, even if it meant I kept the dog several years and spent considerable money out of my own pocket to care for it. I am even more rigorous about placing a pup I breed, and yes, I am responsible for that pup for its' life to the best of my ability. Since you know so little about me and have made erroneous assumptions over and over in this post, (or worse, perhaps you think you know me) perhaps it is you who belongs in therapy. As for telling it like it is about less than reputable breeders, I, like some others I know on this board have decided to simply stop trying to educate people and let them get burned and learn the hard way. If someone is as undisciplined as many are, and has little knowledge of the breed, breeders, the process of titling and showing dogs and can not distinguish who is real, reputable and ethical, then I guess they will simply have to learn in their own tough way. I am very careful about what I do, and how I do it. And yes, I do it my way at my own facility. When you have experience and guts enough to do the same, let us all know.

I'll relate an expierience. In madison I had a dog pick something up. I had about 13 with me including some puppies. By the time I figured out I had something it had spread throughout the group as I didn't always put the dogs in the same crate. Every dog I showed at the show was infested with something. It was a long way to go and a lot of effort to be comprimised in the end. I was able to get medication sent, but it's a mess. I usually don't stay at the host hotel for the reasons above. I wouldn't want to do a float as an additional entry requirement either, but I wouldn't hold it against anyone that did.

hodie- I have checked you out, in very little time. Very easy to do on the internet. You state you have had 2 well thought out litters, yet on another board, you have named one of the puppies 'Canto'. I assume you are following the systems that most in Europe and some in the USA, and that would mean that you have had 3 litters? (I could be wrong, but that is what it seems). Was one litter not so 'thought about' and turned out to be an accident? Come on lady! Not everyone is as stupid as you assume. You have advertised this litter of yours 8 times on this board, how about listing some of your rescues for those who might be interested in giving on a lifetime home? Or do you not because you will not make the money off of them? Seems the mother of this litter had some not so successful trials (which is found if you do a search on the mother of your advertised litter). You also state that you are 'telling it like it is about less than reputable breeders' Is that your uneducated opinion because perhaps they are in a realm that you cannot control? Because someone does something that is not 'your' way, they are put at the mercy of your proding and otherwise ruthless and vindictive nature? Yes, YOU do things your way, at YOUR facility, with YOUR club, because you are a control freak. Admit it; it is okay. Are you one who will decide who is and is not ethical; who is reputable and who is not; who is doing it right and who is not? Just something to think about! On the ground where this facility exists and where this show takes place, are there not coyotes, fox, feral cats, mice, rats and other living animals who carry disease and internal parasites? Would you like for them to also have fecal floats done? Again, get a grip! We are dealing with living, breathing animals! Even the cleanest of humans can get giardia or any other parasite!

Wildcats, I think a parasite has affected your brain. Further, I wonder who you really are? I think I know but I doubt you have the courage to tell us who you are and where you live. Are you a friend of the unethical people some of us talk about? Or are you one of those people? Should I name names? Naw--- simply not worth wasting my time on an idiot like you.

I simply called the shots as I saw them! Go ahead and talk in your gossip ring and to those who will waste their time listening to your lines of nonsense and ego boosting material. I think that in time, they will also see that you are wasting their time as well. In my long search for a companion dog, be it a super dog or just a dog that loves me with all of its heart, regardless of the breeding, I have found you to be the most offensive and most vocal of all. You may call me an idiot. Others call me Mom, grandmother, friend, teacher (hence the name), wife, mentor and someone with a heart who does not boost my ego making lowlifes out of humans! In that respect, I am also one who always does my 'homework'. Mrs. T. Eddi

Mrs. T. Eddi or whatever your real name is: Not only have you NOT done all your "homework" (though clearly that was not your purpose), but you are a COWARD. You supposedly stumbled onto this site. BS. I suspect you are or are writing for someone who has been called to task for dishonorable breeding, importing, lying to people, breeding unsound dogs etc., etc. Anyone with half a brain can see that. You are simply out to try to even a score that is really lopsided on the side of people in our area of the country (and there are, happily, some reputable breeders) who are ethical vs. those who are not. Most people reading this know what really is going on here and many of the reputable people on this board know all about those who are disreputable and why. As for my female, you should be so lucky to have a dog like her. All of her work, unlike some of your friends, is documented in official papers and record. Members of my club are in it because they wish to be. When they do not wish to be a member, they will leave - none of them are handcuffed! I can not make anyone a "lowlife". Only they can and some, sadly, do it all too frequently when it comes to the subject of GSDs in our area, breeding, etc.. Unlike you, I stand behind what I say, whether you like it or not, by being honest enough to state my real name. I can and will back up my statements with facts, not simple innuendos. People who are unwilling to state their name when they have something to say are cowards. I will waste no more time of mine responding.

I know you cannot make someone a lowlife, but you can certainly give note of your opinion. However, it is obvious from your tone on this board, and others, that you have a big problem with judging others and then giving your opinion to anyone who will listen. As far as my log in name, it is the same as you having a log-in name of 'hodie'. My real name is Tanya Eddi, and I am a private school teacher in Hays, Kansas and work wtih some very gifted children. Yes, I have learned the virtue of patience and understanding from them. I am a 48 year old mother of 2, grandmother of 3, and wife of a former US Marine. I, like some who stumble upon this board, are looking for a super companion for myself and my family! However, when I read a topic and see only one post by you, do a history of your posts, check you out by your website, and doing a search on your name and kennel, there is much to be found. Anyone can do it! You speak of your female. Good for you to have such a fine female! After doing a search on her name, there is also much to be found. As far as me 'writing' for someone else, no. I have no reason to do that. You must be very guilty of the suspected means of undermining people from your suspicious nature. I am pointing out that 'you' have a problem with others and it is so obvious. You cannot seem to write one post without some around-the-corner swipe at someone (whomever it may be I really don't care). I have found a very nice breeder in Illinois, who not only have been one of the top kennels in the US, but whose experience and quality speak volumes. They have been willing to work with me and my family. This is the path we have chosen to take. Yes, I have done my homework a time or two, and I encourage everyone to do the same. I have made my point, and it is obvious through your last post, that you do choose to cut the throat of others for your own personal gain! Good luck to all who listen to this gal and seek her advice! You will need it!

Hodie-Wishing you and your club much success!! Have fun! Matt
