| HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE BACKYARD BREEDER PHRASES AND INFO ON NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL DOG SHOWS. |
| "WE DON'T SHOW OUR DOGS, THEY DON'T NEED RIBBONS TO PROVE THEMSELVES". THIS IS BECAUSE THEIR DOGS WOULD NEVER MAKE IT IN THE SHOW RING, THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE AKC STANDARD AND THE BREEDERS ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO LEARN WHAT THE STANDARD ACTUALLY IS. "WE SELL SHOW QUALITY PUPPIES" SERIOUSLY? HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT SHOW QUALITY TRULY IS IF YOU HAVE NEVER, EVER STEPPED FOOT INTO A AKC CONFORMATION SHOW RING OR DOG SHOW. THIS IS JUST A SELLING POINT TO CHARGE YOU MORE MONEY. "DOG SHOW PEOPLE ARE SUCH SNOBS, WE JUST BREED FOR THE LOVE OF THE BREED". FOR ONE THING, WE HAVE EARNED OUR SNOBBISHNESS BECAUSE OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE BACKYARD BREEDERS AFTERMATH ON A DAILY BASIS. THEY SELL THEIR BACKYARD BRED PUPPIES, THEN THE OWNERS CALL US AND ASK QUESTIONS AS TO WHY THEIR DOG IS ALWAYS SICKLY, WHY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE OUR DANES, WHY IS THE PUPPY GOING DOWN ON ITS PASTERNS, WHY IS MY PUPPY BECOMING BOW LEGGED AND LAME IN THE FRONT LEGS, THE LIST IS ENDLESS. WE DO KEEP TRACK OF WHERE THESE PUPPIES WERE BRED, AND GUESS WHAT, ALL LOCALLY. WE CLEAN UP AFTER THE BACKYARD BREEDERS ALL THE TIME, AS DO THE RESCUES IN THIS AREA AND THE SHELTERS. YOU BET WE HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE SNOBS, HOWEVER, WE ARE ALWAYS WILLING AND HAPPY TO MENTOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO COME INTO THE BREED AND DO IT RIGHT. "WE BREED MIXED COLORS FOR THE DIFFERENT COLORS". WHATS THE POINT THERE? MONEY AND LOTS OF IT. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO FOLLOW THE GDCA COLOR CODE OF ETHICS, UNLESS YOUR IGNORANT. "CONFORMATION IS NOT NUMBER ONE IN OUR GOAL, IT'S PRODUCING THE OFF COLOR" YEAH, NOT SURPRISED ABOUT THAT. WHY HAVE A DANE LOOK LIKE A DANE WHEN WE CAN GET THOSE LESS DESIRED COLORS AND MAKE MONEY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DANES LOOK LIKE WHIPPETS OR GREYHOUNDS. WE SHOW OUR DOGS IN INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL SHOWS. WHOOP TEE DO, THEY ARE NOTHING, NOT A REAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND JUST A BOUGHT PIECE OF PAPER. A LOAD OF CRAP AND THAT IS USUALLY WHAT APPEARS IN THE INTERNATIONAL SHOWS. IF THEY ARE NOT A MEMBER OF A GREAT DANE CLUB, DO NOT BUY THE DOG, EVER! |
| IF YOU SEE AN AD OR A WEBSITE BOASTING ABOUT INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION OR NATIONAL CHAMPION WITHOUT AN AKC OR CKC TITLE ON THE DOG, BEWARE, WHY ARE THEY NOT SHOWING IN AKC OR CANADA? THESE INTL OR NTL TITLES ARE USED OFTEN IN BACKYARD BREEDER OR PUPPYMILLER ADVERTISMENTS TO SELL PUPPIES. ANYONE CAN GET A INTERNATIONAL OR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THEY ARE NOT JUDGED LIKE AN AKC SHOW. |
