| At the beginning of February, we lost a very important member of the family, Flash. He was with the family just shy of two years, but it seemed as if he was with us forever. Flash was roughly 8 years old, he had many problems that were not spoken of when we adopted him. There are so many things one could say about him, but no words do him justice. It happened kind of suddenly, one day he was healthy--as healthy as he could be considering his problems, and the next day he gone. Just like that. One thing I can say is that he was the product of show breeding gone wrong. He met all the standards, but his teeth ended up malformed as well as his nails. He was weak, it felt like he would break when you picked him up. Shetland Sheepdog breeders need to keep in mind what they are breeding for in my opinion. Do you risk the health and quality of life of the dog just so it can become a champion, or do you try to improve the breed? To clarify, I am not against show breeding. The animals are majestic, but I am also aware there are breeders out there who only care about the quality of appearance, not the health of the dog. Flash had champion bloodlines, if you saw his pedigree, it bled with the constant marking of champions. Flash was champion, not because of a show, but in his attitude.  |

| RIP Flash. I have a BC (work line bred- not show) and there is an immeasurable difference between him and his "show" border collie relatives. It's sad how it's so easy to destroy a breed just to get them to look a certain way. _________________ Cheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin  Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!
