I thought Ben had value. Me too, especially in producing. As it says, "some good dogs". The phrase "lack of value" refers to the winners of the class in the past. There have been some great dogs entered. Why they weren't in for points, or for Specials, I can't say? I entered Ben to support the board, even though I didn't agree with them in establishing the class. We need to show this support for the board when we can. They work hard, give up a great deal of time, and always do what they think if best for the club, the breed and the members. Even if we do not agree with them, we should support them for the effort and dedication they give us. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
