Luckily my daughter is such a sweetie pie she just sits there flirting with
everyone and has never cried at a dog show! My rascal of a son, on the other
hand, (who is 13 now) would be an angel?until I was in the ring for?open dog or
bitch (whatever was the most important class for me that day!) and start
screaming and carrying on so my mom (who was supposed to be doubling) would
have to take him far away, as I would not want him disturbing anyone or
upsetting the dogs! I am sure some of you remember that lol! And then when he
was older he would grab the bells and try to double (not at the appropriate
time of course) or try to get into the ring, or some other equally charming
thing so that whoever was watching him had their hands full! What a difference
between him and my daughter!

?Let me give you another viewpoint. As a judge,in a ring, a baby stroller
should be no concern of mine ,right ? and normally I'm not aware of what
happens outside my ring. But there was an occasion that brought it to my
attention. There was a young couple sitting right by the entrance, with their
young baby in a stroller. Apparently they had a dog in the ring,and I was doing
GSDs at the time,so I?recognized them of course. The baby started fussing,which
ended up in wailing,then crying it's head off.?The reaction by,first one
GSD,then another GSD was amazing.? To say the least all 12 dogs in the ring,
were visibly? agitated. I had my steward go over and ask them to move,that it
was? affecting the dogs. Well the husband stayed there,and the wife picked up
the baby and started walking away and around to the other side. The baby still
fussed,and the dog who must have belonged to them,kept turning and turning. I
finally asked my steward to tell them they had to leave the area--tal
k about "double handling" <G>? It took a while to settle the class down and
proceed. Our GSDs are particularly sensitive to the crying of an infant or
child. I'm sure you all have had that with your own kids. Helen Miller Fisher?
