[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the criteria listed by folks here seem so arbitrary. [/quote] It’s actually a whole code related to a mindset about preserving family inheritance and downplaying ostentation, so it’s a little more coherent than it looks on the surface. There’s one poster who knows a fair amount but gets parts wrong (and won’t back down), and that adds a touch of arbitrariness. No, you don’t need to breed dogs and show them at Westminster, and in fact that’s actually a pretty middle class thing these days (watch Best in Show). Old money on the Upper East Side isn’t showing horses. [/quote] You do need big, drooly dogs of the kind your family has had for generations when they used to hunt, but you don’t hunt yourself. This works because you have lots of land on the country. Breeding show dogs, pffft. [/quote]
