Can't say that I put much stock in ring experience. Ring "control"
(whatever that really is"
certainly doesn't come even close to the ability to find the right dogs. AKC
stresses ring procedure
over actual placing of dogs, then allows approximately two minutes for
evaluation of each dog after
considering checking armbands, marking the book, noting absentees, winners,
etc, Yes, most
AB judges have vast experience in ring procedure but have no clue for finding
the right GSD. It's
quite often a crap shoot. I watched last week when a judge found a really good
dog for WD, then
pointed to one of the worst there for WB (a major ) He had ring control up the
gazoo, but I was
left with the feeling that his finding that WD must have been a happy accident
considering many
of his other placements and some of the good ones who did not place. One of the
reasons our
specialties are so superior to the ABs it the lack of time restraints ; judges
can take the time
they need to do their job. There were so many fine animals at the national,
many more than could
be recognized with an award. That kind of judging takes time.
