which country has not ruined the german shepherd? - Page 9

Well we could argue about the niceties of that point Joan but I don't want to go off topic.

I'll PM you later.

How is what I spoke to off topic? What niceties? I think it is appropriate to discuss here. :-)

Why don´t we just be honest instead of blaming single countries?
As soon as the German Shepherd became "famous" breeders started to ruin the breed. They started breeding for the pet market instead of breading for working abilities.
There might be some countries where people are still looking for working dogs only, not for pets - I think about emerging countries, where dogs are fed only in case they are "useful", not because they are "cute".

not countries, but individual breeders in various countries 

Susie, pet peeve, you do this a lot; type breading instead of breeding, don't make me e-slap you.

unless it is a clever play on words where people breed to put bread on the table as in a puppy mill, then breading is so totally on point.

Sorry, VK, I´m working on it...

or / oder

Entschuldige, VK, ich arbeite daran, aber mein Deutsch ist besser als mein Englisch, und "Wortspielereien" schaffe ich nur auf Deutsch...

Susie your ( before last) post left me no choice but say 

Ich liebe euch

That is I love you in German, is that meant for me or Susie  

Joanro  -  Absolutely !

Sorry it was at length but its always been a pet subject for me.
