Why THAT breed?

There usually are different reasons why people do the same thing.

One person blogs to record their thoughts.

Another person blogs to be read.

Others blog to make friends.

Some blog because the teacher requires it.

Same with dogs shows.

Some people crave the different:

They breed flat faced dogs, dogs whose chest nearly drag the ground,
dogs with loose wrinkly skin, dogs with a funny tail,
dogs that don't walk right, and dogs with hair that grows backwards.

Many people are attracted to hair or fur,
if they are really into it, it is called having a fur fetish.

Many of the women that men drool over aren't beautiful,
they are average women with exceptionally long, thick, hair.

It is said the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I knew a much older woman who that thought long hair was really ugly.

She had beautiful hair, and had trained to work in a beauty parlor,
But she had grown up with the image of a flapper.

Long hair was for backwoods people, she thought.
Short hair is chic.

I've met people who didn't want a long haired dogs because of the grooming required,
and met those who just simply like the look of a short haired dog.

I've met people who loved the look of a long haired dog,
but I have also met dog show people who confess that they have a thing for hair, they love combing it, they love playing with it, they raise hairy dogs just so they can play with their fur.

Some people choose a breed for it's effect on other people, often to intimidate people, but sometimes the reverse, toughs and real dangerous women, who get cute little dogs either as camouflage, or to help them meet people.

Some people want the dog to be a forever baby, toddler, or young child substitute.

Some people are into raising, teaching, or controlling dogs. these each have their own training methods and fans. And they each have certain dogs they work best with.

Most people's pet dog is a member of the family, a friend, or a watchdog.

Dogs can be a religious connection for some people, a link to something beyond people and cities. Sometimes a link to nature.

Some of the Pre-Colombian New World dogs had important religious roles. Some believe that dogs were put here to provide people with an example of how true love should be.
