Your right, I didn't quite understand that either. Everyone has "pets", the activities you choose to do with your pet is the only differences. I'm not sure when actually working, working breeds became such a bad thing??

I never sad it was a bad thing, it's simply the way this is projected... It's simple, just because a dog works doesn't mean it isn't a pet.

It's not a bad thing. It is only when a person tries to compare one against the other that the fur flys.
Why compare - enjoy the dog you have and allow the next person to enjoy theirs. :wink:
Protection training your dog? Schutzhund? Weight pulling? This is for you. Is your dog a 'pet'? This is not for you.

I realky don't understand your question. Someone said working dogs were not companions as well?puppywhooped said:If I am not wrong, the "working dog folks " consider their dogs companions first , and working dogs second. Would they frequent a board like this if they didn't ?
That is because they are trying to get us "working people" to stay out of everyone elses business, I not a "working person" I am a pet owner who is doing schutzhund with her dog, thats all.puppywhooped said:Read the description under the new "working dog

That description is F*CKED!!!!!!!!!!!
working folks consider their dogs tools... tools to do the work they choose as there hobby... They are honest about what they have and make no excuses for the dogs... If a dog isn't suited to do the job they are working in they get rid of it and start over... Working folks have a goal in mind and work hard at reaching it so they don't keep dogs that can't do the work...puppywhooped said:If I am not wrong, the "working dog folks " consider their dogs companions first , and working dogs second.
