Dog Dies in Iditarod Trail Sled Race

Next time you are going to cut someone up for spelling, maybe you should put yourself through a refresher course first, or just shut up and see if that works.

Haha! I was thinking the same thing a few posts ago!
You go on and on about the evils of beagle trials but have "400" trophies at home, why did you ever accept them if they were the byproduct of treating the dogs so badly? IMO (and I'm sure most others agree) it's much more abusive to a hunting beagle to keep it confined on the couch when all it wants to do is run rabbits-why not get a toy breed dog? The nail polish would probably look a little better on a Pomeranian or Poodle.
OK-this will be my last post on this subject (I hope)

really I'm sure they don't want their misfortune publically aired out.hobbies surounding hounds and sporting dogs already have enough city slicker bleeding heart enemies out there. just don't want to hand them a bullet to shoot us with.

ok here we go again,,,With beagles ,,I have had judges change score pads for my advantage,,had judges give myself the win ,,,,when I know I did'nt win that cast...and seen beagles get the crap beat out of them at field trials....you all live in your little heads!!!,,this is cruel ,,as well as running a horse in a derby when it is way to young! catching the largest bass for a big purse at the end?? give me a break ,,,these are animals,,they dont choose to do this things there owners are putting them threw! Shannon

So now you are feeling guilty for accepting someone cheating for your advantage.
Here is how I feel about that - If my dog didn't win it, deserve to win, I don't want it.
I would scratch my dog before I accepted someone cheating.

If I see someone beating a dog, I'll put up my money and file the protest. I can't affect what occurs in Alaska. There are idiots everywhere, people that beat their kids, spouses, animals, people that abuse kids, spouses, animals through neglect.
You can't fix stupid, you can't pass laws and regulations against it - They have tried for years and it doesn't work.
The main thing America needs to do is quit supporting it through all the handouts (welfare, etc.). Quit rewarding them for breeding and bringing more generations of stupid into the world.

Speaking of living in out little heads, I feel confident I have a better perception of the world than what you do. I gained my perspective through experience and observation. You seem to look through the world with rose colored glasses.

I am sure there are stupid people involved in the Iditarod, beagle field trials, coon dogs, show dogs, and every other single type of animal in existance. My suggestion to you is to stand up for what is right instead of turning your back, then condmening it on the internet.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
I don't see you planning a trip to Alaska to educate sled dog mushers on proper treatment and care of the dogs.
I don't see you filing protest with the race officials showing abuse.
Get out from behind the keyboard and do something, other than that refer to the part in red

cuz I have been there,,,won over 400 trophies(I counted them a week or so ago),,,done that .....and am done with it!

So you cheated, let people cheat for your to win how many of those?
What's wrong your ego get to big to tote it around to the trials?
Did people quit cheating for you, and started cheating against you?
So you quit?

I run my dogs in trails on occasion (when I am not hunting).
I saw problems, mostly with bad judging, some suspected cheating, and a lot of talk by people that were just like you and doing ZERO about it.

Instead of sitting there complaining, I took action.
I went and got my judges license and I judge field trials.
Guess what? I can guarantee about one or two casts every trial I attend there is absolutely no cheating - Because I judged them.
So I am part of the solution.

Shannon

[WrongsideRandy]

Won over 400 trophies huh? What happened? Get tired of feeding your EGO or get full? Sounds like are bashing the life you once lived. All holier than now huh? Funny how people who once did something but stopped feel the need to bash it. What are you gonna do when your dog chokes on it's rawhide.......u gonna blame the rawhide makers? I think you sniffed the toenail polish you used on Gale. You are ridiculous and I can't understand why you even come visit all of us cruel beaglers. We are horrible for allowing our dogs outside. Go away before we corrupt you!

[modock kennels]

well im glad you can sleep better.... i really am happy about this..... this is what these dogs are breed for.. you keepin one couped up in the house isnt cool in my book...... you really are a chode... thanks

"What do all forms of sportsmen have in common..greed,money,cheating,ego boosts... ooooh and talking about one- another! Shannon"

Uuuh, I don't know if you thought about this Princess, but those are traits shared by all of mankind and to place that burden solely on the shoulders of sportsman is just idiotic.

"Funny how people who once did something but stopped feel the need to bash it."

These people are called hypocrites, and some people' hypocracy knows no bounds. These types also like to poke and prod others with derogatory accusations, then label the accused as childish for standing up for themselves.

"I just like seeing SO-Called Sportsmen get there panties in a bunch,,,still acting like a buncha kids..."

I did not bring beagling into this topic...page 1 joe kaschak and marr24 did......I don't want to call a spaid a spaid BUT... I will if pushed into a corner ....Don't come down on me for LOVING ANIMALS...seeing animals mistreated....my own beagles cut up,bit,ticks,worms,cold,wet,lost,heat stroke,not being judged fairly,me not being able to get them a fair shake....(that got me banned!) Nope don't come down on me people....I did not say anything about your beagling until you all' brought it up...this was sled dogs and how many loose there lives every year....Shannon

Shannon have u ever heard this? An animal is an animal and a human is a human? And id say the reason u are banned from arha is cause u didnt know what the hell u were talking about just like right now. If u are so worried about what everyone else does then get off the computer and go protest or some kinda crap but i hope u know the whole story before u go out and try to tell someone in person all this crap cause most likely everyone is just gonna laugh in ur face and say GET OVER IT!!!!

[WrongsideRandy]

jr walker...Being banned from arha...is this what you mean I dont know what I'm talking about....if so let me know and we can open this can of worms...do you want names,dates....be more than happy to let you know! I did nothing wrong in field trialing...I did see cheating first hand,saw people be-little each other behind one-anothers back,saw beagles hurt,,,thats where this ends,,,I saw my own beagles run there guts out to be cheated,,why would I subject my dog(or myself) to such a negative atmoshere,,,That is why I dont attend trials,,,,End of story...A beagle too some is like another tool to hunt with(ie.)shock collor ,gun...too me they are my friends....I have learned alot about people from beagling,,,I wish sometimes I would have never got invovled with beagles! Such'a loving breed to be treated like a tool!Shannon
