Hi all, I come on and off here every now and again but have been a member for over
a year.

Find this site full of helpful advice and ideas, and would endorse what it stands
for, the further future of the Ute breed. Sadly it too has had its share of problems
where perhaps ignorance, and spite has raised its ugly head. Shame when most
of us on this site are here for our dogs, and the breeders do have the interest
of this breed very much to the fore.

So well done admin for talking straight, sometimes thats exactly what is needed.

I was dismayed and somewhat perplexed at the turn of events a few weeks ago
and saddened by comments made on the forum.

But the best thing I believe is to rise above all of that,(easy to say I know when you are
not the target) But being silent gives no power to the perpetrator!

So congrats on handling this with patience and some well chosen remarks!

Lynn 'B' none of this was deserved and my thoughts go out to you, with the
wealth of experience as a breeder, you are the only person who knows
the truth behind all of this, and I really do hope it has not made you too
bitter. You were kind and very helpful to me as a very novice wanna be owner !!
of this truly beautiful breed and enabled me to achieve that wish, so thanks.

So onwards and upwards for this Forum and all who truly wish to enjoy
talking to and meeting like minded owners. June you do a great job, I know
from experience as a Foster Coordinator, just how much tact and diplomacy
is required to be able to get a message across without upsetting the more
uninformed person/s. Gill (wildfire)

Hi Jill [ Wildfire ], I totally agree with you regards June running a great forum, I am just sorry that everyone had to go through all the the dirty washing before it was put in the machine and on an eco friendly cycle, still at least it,s out on the line smelling fresh and comming out glow white. As for bitterness, I do not do it, bitterness only hurts those who hold on to it.
It is really nice to hear from you again, thankyou for your nice comments on my pups [ they are growing by the day ], pups are keeping me really busy and on my toes. Hope all is well with you, you can phone anytime, maybe we could have a catch up.
