People of high intelligence talk about ideas.
People of average intelligence talk about things.
People with no intelligence talk about other people.
Where are you in the lineup?

When we reach the end of our lives and we are judged on all that we have accomplished and what we did to get there, all that really matters is our Integrity.
INTEGRITY: as Webster defines it, is uncompromising adherence to Moral and Ethical Principles; soundness of Moral character; HONESTY.

We here at Cal-Ore Cockers have not deviated from nor turned aside from the Principals of INTEGRITY even though in the past we have had Heartbreaks when a Breeding Program or a Show Dog has not lived up to our expectations because of health or extenuating circumstances. We just rolled our sleeves up and started all over again.

"Criticism is something you can avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing"
