Isn’t that interesting? I was on the same very page last night & that link
wasn’t there.
I would already had something to say yesterday if it were there!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Seriously?....
Is the GSDCA trying so hard to save money they're chintzing the agility
competitors out of a rosette for a class placement and instead, as of today,
when entries are closed, offering a ribbon instead? YES. And when the
agility & obedience trophy donations are over filled as to flow into the
general fund to boot, AND when the GSDCA agility trials are the most
expensive of the year! People were willing to PAY for the opportunity at a
rosette in class placement, and now all one gets is a ribbon, when one can
get a ribbon (and sometimes a rosette) for an entry that costs half as much?
I am embarrassed. I am carting a young lady across the countryside for an
overpriced agility trial for her to get the chance at a ribbon after telling
her, "it's the nationals- see here in the premium? Placers get rosettes and
so do qualifiers." Now even DOUBLE QUALIFIERS (that's entered and qualifying
in BOTH the standard AND jumpers classes the same trial same day for those of
y'all not in the know) get a "double ribbon". Really?!?
Won't a first-timer at the nationals coming just for agility be thrilled to
have burned up her precious college budget for flat ribbons when she could
have shown for 2 weekends at the price instead of 2 days, not to mention
missing school and the travel !
How in the world did an event with a surplus prize budget get the prizes cut?
Hmmph. Perhaps it was no coincidence there was a constant contact begging
for more sieger show trophies- 70 of them- that the agility prizes got cut.
Perhaps not. That's for all of you to decide.
