Well Joe, I can see why you didn't harvest Rick's verse as there are a number of errors in it.

First, he can't spell Rottweiler, an obvious problem, Then there's is the idea of naming a Rottweiler "Blue." Anyone with a lick of sense knows that Rottweilers are black and rust and unknown in any other color, least of all blue.

As you're aware, "Blue" refers to the classic Blue Ticked Coon Hound whose hairs are multi-colored, each tipped with blue. blue is also known on other hounds, often in it's pure variety as opposed to ticked. This can be found on Great Danes and also on Weimaraners, although the AKC will not recognize the color or a longhair coat on a Weim even though it's been around for a long time, just rare. You met a "blue" doggie right here at my place as I recall he spent a lot of time laying on your foot. Blue Longhair Weimaraner......not named Blue though!

I also feel Rick was in error praising the behavior of the dog he mentions by calling him a good dog. I back your decision not to take such a poorly written verse to the DT.
