Everybody, everybody, everybody.........

Look at the bigger picture here, the discussion lays not within the name of
the breed or the appearance.

Its how the WE, the owners, communicate about our dogs (Somehow our dog
breed name has became the topic of a politic discussion) this is the issue!
Read we as a community are responsable for the image of our dogs. Espacialy
in Italy (at the moment), every escalation, fight or whatsoever will be
missused against the image of our dogs.

So what can we actually do, the only thing is try to promote the image of
our dogs in a positive way. We wont win this discussion within our community
(actually I'm getting fed up with all those mails, missing on the actual
issue). Who is actually doing something outside our community in relation to
the image of our breed.

I think we all know what the problem is, and I think we can define a simple
international plan, which supports everybody, in the local discussion. For
starters,
(this is just a proposal, I'd like to start a discussion in how we can win
this battle). We could write a theses on our breed, the actual
characteristics and for instance figures of actual statistics, we could
present those to the local authorities, the local veterinarian on so
on........

We could promote our breed more via dogshows and so on and so forth,

I hope I've started a constructive discussion from which we derive a plan on
how to promote our breed,

sincerely yours,

Big Howl,
