BTW Lindsey Graham is a pile of malignant pig mucus. Now just what did Chuck Hagel have to
do with Benghazi? Graham got his questions answered but he just did not like the answers
he got because the only answers he wanted were ones the made the Obama administration
look bad so he can have another "White Water 2.0" ... aka the 7 year 77 million dollar blow job
hunt ..... investigation in order to ham string a democrat who is President.

Agree. Same goes for horses. They do terrible things to American Saddlebreds, for example, Arugula Latte Feb 2013 #11

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi gets pulled but never placed. While it's nice that an unknown breed won best in show, I would love to see my corgi dog win just once.

Of course, I'm just a bit biased.

I think purebreds are beautiful and I love dogs in general but more than 5 million dogs per year are put down in the USA alone. Perpetuating 19th Century Victorian values where dogs (and huge lawns) are status symbols does no good for dogs. Cutting ears and tails, banishing the "imperfect" and breeding dogs for money can all be left in the past IMHO.
