Linkkivinkki ja ajattelemisen aihetta

Nyt osui niin mieluinen linkki silmiin (kiitoksia vinkistä), että pakko jakaa se täälläkin:

Siinäpä sitä on miettimistä itse kullekin jos asia kiinnostaa.

Mun lempilauseeksi taisi nousta tuosta artikkelista seuraavat sanat:

“John said: “I occasionally take my terriers along to Country Fair’s and Working Terrier shows. Occasionally, a judge will have some knowledge of the history of the breed, and Jack has won quite a few shows, and so has Molly, but a lot of judges wouldn’t know an original Fox Terrier if it stood up in their soup, and often the prize is awarded to any white’ish dog which has the biggest head and jaws on the day. People say to me it’s the “fashion” to produce these large headed dogs with powerful jaws, and I should do the same to win, but I’ve always been fairly anti-fashion, and I don’t breed dogs to win rosettes anyway.”

JA

“They are often heard to say that a terrier should be large headed, and with a strong, vicious bite. These are the kind of people who drive their terriers to a fox’s earth in a van, or pickup truck (after all their terriers are so far removed from the original conformation, they couldn’t “run with the hounds”, nor smell a trail), where they then dig a hole which is large enough for their terriers to get through so as to enable it to be involved with a vicious fight to the death with a fox. “

No, oli siellä monta muutakin kohtaa jotka saivat hymyilemään ja toki miettimään myös omia koiria ja omia ajatuksia. Ajattelemisen aihetta tosiaan.
