I will point this out because I 100% disagree with this style of show tactic:
Yes I will call Lanakila out on this. It is one thing to plan a pair etc. It is another to block most of the shows and the handlers majority of the time. Just in an attempt to Hold the #1 spot or have most of their Dogs if not ONLY their dogs in the SDWC. Yet, to look at this players account, they would like it believe it is OTHERS doing this.

------------------------------------------------
This is exactly the hostile play I am referencing in this breed and across some others I had purchased some males in, pondering to get involved in those breeds on my other accounts. Needless to say I finished the dogs and forever homed them after getting some hostility from those breeders I had purchased from.
I hate that crap too.

Can I just point out before there is any feeling for poor hard done by Pooh is have ........ 4 Gordon Setters yes 4. I suggest Pooh you check the shows more often and get the handlers quicker because if I see a Gordon Setter show I will be putting good handlers on. You block shows with 4 dogs with handlers and hoards without to take all the WC spots..... this tactic I will be tackling in future months because 4 dogs cant stop this ....... mmmm what could I do what could I do lol lol.
Just to think if you had messaged me privately instead of insulting me with childish show names this could have been avoided ......... and though I dont know either player Bravos and Heather may have been best mates lol lol lol well I dont know.
You reap what you sow Pooh you started it all and sadly your Gordon Setter adventure is going to become even more tricky as I will put ever more effort in to it.
Its a game have fun. |

In response to me hating that crap: This is a game of strategy, so make one. This involves selective breeding, selecting the best judges that fit your breed's strong points, pre entering shows in advance, etc. I find handler hogging to be silly as well as over entering past the six point major. As for the two kennels going at it, it's making me laugh. Especially dragging politics into it. This isn't the place for that shit either. |

Depending on the cost, I'll sponsor some for them too. May the best dogs win. |

To Answer Pooh: To me, we always have choices. We all make decisions on which shows to enter, etc. Some people plan ahead, some don't. Daily there is 5 shows. So, if someone is doing that in 1 to 3 of the shows, I don't see a problem with that, because everyone is working on some kind of goal with their kennels. Like, I see that is what Lanakila is doing now. Which to me is fair. She's planning ahead. 1st come 1st serve type thing. It's not on her to wait for anyone. It's only an issue to me when you've got 5 shows and 1 player has planned all of them lol. That to me is bad sportsmanship. -------------------------------------------------- Additionally, I only started the family kennel as like a small Christmas present to myself. LOL At the time I had bred my main dogs and didn't want to just fh or just keep 1 or 2 pups. I want them all to have the opportunity to show a few times to see which ones are consistently over the others. Not all of the owner handler judges just go by the age or whatever. Some of you call them glitched judges. Some judges that predominantly prefer handlers do randomly go with no handlers too lol. If I am not mistaken there are some random factors on any given day. Even with the dogs %s and "attitudes" etc lol. ------------------------------------------------- Anywho, I'm about done sorting those things out and will be rounding up all the Aussies into one kennel pretty soon  -------------------------------------------------- I've thrown multiple breed specialties for them and No, idc if mine win all the time. I'd like to see others in fact win some, otherwise they get discouraged and either quit the breed or stop showing. Makes it stagnant and not fun to me. Unlike some people think, I grew up showing, dogs and horses on multiple different levels. I am a competitor and a good sportsman. That does not mean I'm going to let someone just run rampant over me and not push back. Seems to burn when someone gets a taste of their own tactics lol ------------------------------------------------ Rivers Edge: Exactly, idk what all the politic sh$t was about. Some egos just go too far, and it's total nonsense. -------------------------------------------------- Over all seems it was a good thread to start and get crap out in the open LOL __________________________________________________ Let's all have a drink chill, remember it's a game. |

I don't drink alcohol, so I'll be the DD! People bring up politics when they're grasping at straws for petty insults. If it resorts to name calling, I will happily report that crap. This game has been free of political crap for a reason and it should stay that way. This isn't my eldest kennel, but I too have been playing for over 20 years. Now I want to show some Aussies and see what happens. Same for Gordons. |

I take that back, this kennel has been here for 20 years. Most of mine are back in 2004-2005. Not like that really matters, though. |

I have to agree Rivers Edge. This game is a bit of escape from all that stuff, even if for a few minutes here n there.
You can totally have a virgin something LOL
I'm for more people showing Aussies. It's the main breed my family showed and raised RL. lol |
