Nope, you're not going crazy.
Apparently Toolalla Collies are lowly chickens, and Avalon has the real ones. We're so lucky that she's here to show us what real coolies are :rofl1:
This. :rofl1:
OH. So you are allowed to bash another breeder, who is not on the forum to defend themselves, and 2 young ladies, because they don't follow your ethics. But we are all idiots for asking you questions because you don't follow our ethics?
Look, we have dogs of all kinds here on chaz.
Show, working, pet, rescue, BYB, mixed, purebred, huge, small.. and I didn't even think the rule needed to be written down but WE, as a community of dog lovers , DO NOT BASH EACH-OTHERS DOGS REGARDLESS OF BREED CONFLICTS.
Your constant little snarky stupid remarks (showing off merles/chickens/whatever) is a huge part of what is rubbing people the wrong way. If your dogs were that great, you wouldn't have to stoop so low.
Even never having met them, just from the bits of those dogs I have seen on this forum, I can say with confidence that Trav, Zinga and Didgie are AWESOME dogs and any breed should be happy to have them as examples. You don't like their breeder? fine. You've said it, they've answered questions about it. You don't get to decide which c/koolie breeders are worthy. that's up to people buying dogs and they have made their choice so LET IT GO. And frankly, the proof is in the pudding and let's just say... I like their pudding.
But more than the fact that I know their dogs and I know Linds and Sara.. you know how I REALLY know that they are, at their core, better people and better dogs.
because they don't spend their time mud slinging at anyone who doesn't agree with them or putting down other people's dogs.
I have a show aussie.
There are others here with aussies from working lines (I believe Cara) and rescues like sawyer and sport dogs too!
I can't imagine what state of mind (elitist, mean, crazy) I would have to be to insult their dogs, call them any kind of fowl, or suggest my dog is better just because I like his breeder more or I think he is a "true aussie". Everyones has breeding practices they like, ones they don't, places they would like to get dogs and not.. but we are a COMMUNITY. "I don't support _____ breeder of ______" =/= YOUR DOG IS NOT A REAL _____ AND MINE ARE AND ONLY I CAN TELL WHAT REAL ________ LOOK LIKE BECAUSE I'M THE RULER OF ALL _______! I DONT NEED PROOF SO THERE!!
Linds and Sara have taken their LARGE share of questions and answered with politeness, grace, understanding and openness. Which is much more than I can say for you.
As for why they aren't present in this thread.. it's unsurprising they have chosen to bow out of your drama instead of feeding into it.
