Information on working terriers, dogs, natural history, hunting, and the environment, with occasional political commentary as I see fit. This web log is associated with the Terrierman.com web site.
The thing I find most disturbing about this is the Dog Show Fancy's slavish obsession with looks and "purity" at the expense of all else.Seizures, deafness, crippling orthopedic problems and more are overlooked in a narcissisticly cavelier way in the quest to create the canine equivalent of Nazi Stepford wives.What happened to breeding dogs for a purpose? Oh, that's right... breeding for purpose would mean that those pretty ribbons - and big stud fees - would go to people who actually trained and worked their dogs. Then instead of breeding pretty 18 month old puppies with "nice" pedigrees we'd be breeding proven 4, 5 and 6 year old working dogs. Not only is there very little money in this, it involves a whole lot more work than chasing BIS ribbons.
could you place it is the sidebar?
I did a little checking. The reason the Quicktime video isn't paying attention to the autoplay="false" parameter is due to the plug-in setting on the local (viewing) system which trumps the website setting. Right click on the Quicktime video to see your own plug-in settings. This was the case at my end, and I was able to confirm that this is a common complaint about quicktime.
