I will try ans answer your questions as best I can.
Yes, T-Bone is a female and I do refer to her as a 'he'. It is out of habit due to the fact that many Aran line KBT owners use the reference of 'he' when talking about their dog. It has to do with the use of the name (prefix) Aran. I have only seen this happen in the Aran lines. I'll try to refrain from my habit when talking about T-Bone in order to avoid confusion.
As far as my name here. My real name is Rhonda and I own Kerry Blue Terriers. Thats how I got Rhondakbt.
Could someone please explain to me what is going on here? I am really not getting a good feeling about this place since I joined. When I just visited and read here, it seemed great. Now I feel like the center of attention and I don't like that. Maybe if I knew what was going on then I could help ease some of the tense feelings I see here.
Do any of you know Brewsters Mom? I know her personally and we both show. She has a Blue Tick. She was the one who sent me the link to PuppySites.com and told me where to find the link to this place on it.
I have seen some beautiful photos of your dogs on here and I'd really like to get to know you all, but I can't do that if you wont give me the chance.
welcome ! you have a very beautiful dog . i saw the kbt that won the dog show a while back. i love watching the shows and cheering on my favorites. and i love watching the afghan hounds prance around the ring. they are beauty in motion, i have a question though .is the kerry's coat wirey or soft. i always wonder that when i see them . lol
I think they all dogpile on newbies because some have been mistreated in the past. The regulars here, I mean, some were abused, so they are defensive. I remember the name Brewster's mom. I am on other dog forums, so I can't recall where from. Like Ansy said, it is nice to have informed, professional dog people on this board. There are Labrador and Poodle people here that show. You have one of the more unusual breeds, so I don't know if any of us have one like yours. That is a real nice web-site. The names are a bit confusing. I can't even get all my own straight though. I have different dogs every year. I am getting to the" hey, you" stage of things. Poor dogs.

Why would she send you to that site, (puppysite.com) to find a link to this one when she(BREWSTERSMOM) is a member here?
Might be a tad easier than looking it up. Mine has a weird activeboard/sparklit thingy as the url. I just tell people to google the furum, I wish some of them would. I guess I spend too much time on the computer, can't expect it from everyone.
everyone has different reasone for how they do things. we cant question their every move. if they are not who they say they are ,they will eventually slip up and expose themselves, but if they are who they say they are, then we would really feel bad for putting them through the ringer for nothing. i say lets just be nice and try to get along . so far i havent seen where this new person has said or done anything out of line and until they do ,i am not going to question their evey move or say things that will make them feel unwelcome

Well, that could very well be so Kitty.I had forgotten about that.I know once i was at someones house and couldn't locate the furum
Can we just focus on this Rhonda for now? I get my own blond moments from you guys. It is hard to get it all straight, so I would rather not go there. It does not really matter if there are other Rhondas. I like talking to this one.
rhonda. i am sorry that you are having people doubt you. so i figured out a way for you to set peoples minds at ease. you say you show your dogs, which means you most likely have a website. why dont you post a link to your site .your name an email address will be on it. and then people can check out your site and email you with any concerns they may have. if you dont have a site, just post your email addy and they can also check you out through that. because of your exact identity with someone else. it will be a way to set everyones mind at ease, even yours.
Welcome Rhonda. We ARE glad you are here. This is a fun place so sit back and enjoy and if there is heat with some others, just ignore it. This place has a lot less tiffs than any other forum i have seen so it is worth it to just ignore the arguing posts. Again, welcome.

I see your point but not your solution. Requiring a new person to prove themselves by posting websites, emails, addresses, etc on a forum is pretty lame. I thought TP was the only forum who put their new members through the ringer like that.
If this person is fake, she will slip up. But her posts look ok to me. She doesn't even seem to know what TP is.

This is just plain ridiculous! If seeing me email address will make some of you stop all of this, then PM me your email address and I will email you from my website email. I'm not going to email a hundred people, but I will email 4 or 5. After that, I'd really like all of this to stop. I thought I could come here for enjoyment. Maybe I was wrong.
Rhonda, your original introduction was very strange. If you wouldn't mind, may we have an explanation for " I am here, if you dont like my kind, tough" That's an awful odd way to introduce yourself on a forum. Why would you think we wouldn't like "your kind"?
That is just a slogan we use in the show ring. KBT's are known for not backing down in a fight and in some show rings they are frowned upon. That signature had nothing to do with anyone here.
