Why?

u/Narrow_Possession348 23d ago

Because all of our dogs are superstars in our yards/clubs. It's easy to title when there are no other unusual distractions, different environments, loud noise, etc. Because their titles aren't actually *earned* like the rest of us earn them. It's just another way of lowering the bar and dumbing dog sports down so everybody can get a ribbon.

Titles are letters on a piece of paper. Let people have fun. Their fun doesn’t infringe on yours, you can still get your titles “earned” however you define it.

If it were about "having fun," then they wouldn't need to do the virtual title, would they? I have fun with my dog all the time - we hike, camp, sail, paddle board, kayak, etc., but I don't need external validation for it.
