 |  |  |  | What a great new group for a great New Year! Happy 2008 to ALL dogs, be they large or small, feared or revered! This is a great idea, Pepper! I love that now there's a place that's guaranteed not to be "breedist." I love Dogster, but sometimes very hurtful/uneducated statements are made about certain breeds... and not just the "bully breeds" that get the worst of it! My chosen breed, Jack Russells, garner lots of negative comment, as do many other non-bully breeds (cocker spaniels, chihuahuas, beagles, Border collies, etc.). I think it's important to understand the pros and cons of each breed very well before one embarks on ownership of a certain dog... however, understanding the cons and working to bring out the best in dogs is MUCH different than bad-mouthing and stereotyping dogs based on their membership in a breed designation. I know, I'm preaching to the choir here... but I'm just so excited to have a group like this! I hope lots of Dogsters join up soon and we can all have fun learning about the different breeds out there!
