They make me crazy. I spent way too much of yesterday and today arguing why blue eyes shouldn't be excluded from the BC standard, and honestly I am so done with it. It amazes me that any one of these people can pretend that they have any concern for the working Border Collie, it is so clear that they just want their ridiculous little perfect show dogs only club. I know, I should just ignore it, I should just move on- and I am, but I'm still really infuriated about it.
I mean... These people know nothing about genetics. They're going on and on about how a dilute should have brown eyes too, because having dusty grey eyes (like 90% of dilutes have) are an absence of proper pigment and again ruins their expression. Seriously? Apparently I have two dogs with "wrong" color eyes... I guess I should alter them now.
Just... Idiotic. Dog people are insane. Especially when they own Border Collies.
Rant over... Maybe.
