quote

I really like this quote, it makes sense to me! I had never seen this one before and came across it on a breeders website, if I was a breeder this is what I would strive for. If I felt that strongly about one breed to want to advocate for it solely, I love all three of my breeds mostly for their unique and true working ability (for their breed) combined with the individual beauty and sense of humour they all have, I am still not sure I am a "One Breed Only" kind of person. Since all of the dogs here are now spayed and neutered I'll just have to dream of what could have been (NOTE sarcasm coming now): Flat-Jacks, Flat-Collie-Russells or maybe Border-Coat-Terriers, ohhh geee, we'll never know what could have been (which is a VERY good thing)

That's a great quote! This is what my mommy said before. Yes, you may be beautiful but do you have the brains? No point being beautiful when you can't do anything. I may not be beautiful to some people becoz I don't look like one of those confirmation Goldens but I can do lots of stuff that the show dogs can't. My hoomans think I'm beautiful. It always depends on what people like & don't like. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
