Thats nice, but what is your point? As stated by many we do rescue work as well. And some of us also happen to compete a lot as well, or give generous discounts in classes for rescue dogs etc.
Along with my own dogs, there have been times when I have had nothing LESS than five rescues in my home, I don't have kennels.
So what is your point??

I rescue......but, that might not be enough for folks like you.....
No titles here, I am not interested in that, I much prefer to adopt out a dog that will be a "Good Ambassador" representing it's breed.......
What a totally innapropriate comment. How do you expect your dog to be an ambassador to the breed without titles to prove it? That's like saying you have a therapy dog but yet don't have the papers to prove you passed the test. Or a SD without proof of having passed the access test. Every dog should have at least the barest of titles. CGN, and CD if it's worth anything. Without those two what do you have?

What do you mean they are not set up for titles and trophies? Dogs who have been rescued have won countless titles and trophies and honors. Rescued dogs have been service dogs, agility and obedience Champions, you name it. I don't understand your above statement that rescue dogs are not set up for titles and trophies. Could you explain what you mean by that please?
Why do you feel the need to insult people by insinuating they are dense?

My Aussie has his CGC, he's a rescue. Or is that not a "real" title? We will be working for herding and agility, maybe rally titles when I get the money again to enter those classes and competitions.
Seriously, everyone here has been trying to give you a chance to explain yourself and you keep ducking the chance. Did you really just mean what you initially said or do you have no idea what you mean to say?

omg my head hurts.
Rescues can often start out "rougher" but they do come around. If you feel a rescue is not suited for competion i'd like to know what led you to that conclusion. Perhaps it is the trainer and not the trainee.
I have big plans for one of my rescues and i don't feel there is anything she can't do. That said, she has no titles yet. Im a relatively new dog owner.
All dogs, especially rescues have great potential in the right hands and just because they have yet to acomplish som'thing does not make them worthless until they do.
