Bah!   It's too bad it doesn't take a genius to become a dog owner!!! I'll lay it out real simple.  Working dogs go outside, into dangerous environments like grizzly bear dens where they are usually mauled, killed and eaten. Does this sound responsible to you?  If it does, well, you are obviously a greeder, irresponsible and unethical.  You aren't worthy to pet a stray dog! Working dog people do not care what their dogs look like and pay no attention to conformation.   How can they assure their dog is of a proper working structure?  The answer is they can't. Their dogs are never given a proper evaluation of their capabilites in the show ring. Their conformation is never assessed for proper working sturcture.   They are too busy "working" their dogs.  Their dogs aren't breeds, they are mutts. The training methods are barbaric and the working breeder often purposefully try to eliminate a breeds naturally full, beautiful coat because they are too lazy to provide proper humane and adequate care for their dogs. A working dog is always of poorer temperament, aggressive, apt to growl at strangers.   The temperament of working dogs is never given a true test in the show ring, where a dog must exhibit restraint and accept strangers approaching and handling him at will.   Thanks for your support.
