Specialty Shows vs All Breed Shows, Aye That's The Rub!! The simple truth is... "Will I show my superb dog only at Specialty shows, well knowing that specialty judges are all seeing and all knowing. And being a purist, vowing NEVER to lower myself and my magnicient dog (needing only single points to attain the championship), into the nether world of those other shows.Albeit, that I may risk allowing the dog the chance of ever acheiving the holy grail of championship... Or, perchance to venture into the realm of the All Breed arena, knowing that I am compromising the tenents of everything that I have aspired, just to do justice to my magnificient dog, who doesn't give a good sit about any of this any way! If you don't like All Breed shows, don't exhibit!! It really is that simple. As an aside, imagine how long it will take to finish your dog at specialties only. Just the thoughts of a breeder who has had sucess in both venues and also finally has a new home,a new computer and some really nice dogs coming out in the spring.See Ya!
