Paulette, I will elaborate. I didn't say that it didn't exist
anymore but that for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist
anymore. It doesn't exist anymore as a viable competitive option if
you want win at the top levels of GSD exhibition. A person can be an
"old fart" and be nostalgic for the day when the easy going dog was
dominant and continue to breed them. They can rail against the new
trend and try to make people see the light. The dilemma is when the
judge won't put the dog up and the handler won't take it; when the
show puppy buyer won't buy your prospect and folks won't use your stud
dog; and you see where I'm going. The late great handler LaMar Kuhns
talked about the future of the breed being controlled by what he
called the "Bandwagon of Winners". You can either get on board or
stand on the Sideline. I am not cynical about this. I believe that
this is just the way it is in any competitive endeavor. Jim Barnhart
