Anthromophosizing them does a great disservice to the creatures they are and is the cause for many behavioral issues and problems that arise.

I agree with Debbie. Dogs are NOT people. They are dogs. I love my dogs and often call them "kids", but they are dogs. Even when we think of them as part of the family they are dogs and not people.
Dogs do have feelings and thoughts but they do not think like people do. They think like dogs. And when we understand how they think we can live with them much easier.

Bitch IS the CORRECT terminology for a female dog, nothing perjorative about it at all. The negatives inferred from its use or the word, again has to do with humans anthromorphosizing dogs. This is not a "dog world" forum, but if you'll notice when I usually use the term it is in threads having to do with more dog world type topics.

I agree with Debbie on this topic too. And I understand the reaon for the * in the word at times, to get past computer list censors. It is a proper term when speaking of female dogs and no one should take it as derogatory when used in that refrence.
And IMO, there is no missing link between Cardigans and Pembrokes. Nothing missing there at all. Yes, some were interbred, but not all of them, and we don't know which ones are related or which ones aren't.
