>>Perhaps no one has noticed, but a few years ago the GSDCA as well as the AKC

>>sport. First it was the "Reserve system",then changing the entry time for
>>futurity nominations to make it easier, then followed by the Amateur fut/mat,
>>now any dog can be
an obedience Victor even if it only vaguely resembles a GSD,and of course Akc
is now awarding points to dogs who go reserve at 5 pt shows, plus mixed breeds
can now compete in performance events. What some don't seem to realize is
that the higher the standard bar is raised the better the quality of breeder,
continue lowering the standard bar the poorer the quality breeder. Notice I
didn't say dogs..I said "breeder" because the breeder is what creates the dog
and if breeders become "poor quality" the dogs will follow in tow. C
