A couple curious thoughts....
.
So many of us new Dane owners have come to DOL seeking information about showing. I observed that there is a large amount of people who ask about showing that end up not showing. I can surmise that people could become intimidated or realize that their dog may not possess enough show quality. I had actually inquired about showing but decided not to do so for various reasons but mainly because Roman has some faults that would make for limited success and I am not breeding him. Even with his faults and his limited potential as a show dog I often think how much fun showing could be. I soon abandon the thought though and move on to just enjoying him as he is. It seems the excitement of a new Dane can make one a bit zealous and eager to immerse themselves into all things Dane.
My other curious thought was that even people who have no interest in showing desire critiques on conformation. I feel the desire for a critique could have something to do with validation or just a simple curiosity.
Any thoughts?
