In the not-too-distant past I had occasion to discuss a certain pedigreed-dog breeding program with a very good friend of mine who has been involved with her breed for more years than she probably cares to remember.

These persons can be very vociferous tending to think of a dog as ever so pretty but seemingly willing to ignore the fact that to be a good dog, pretty is not good enough. The dog should be beautiful and there is a vast difference between the two adjectives.
