I am appalled that ANYONE would attack such a great effort as yours with
that film
and I personally thought it should be used as a teaching tool for all
judges. The only
reason that they must be attacking you is that their own dogs don't measure
up to the
dogs on that film and don't want judges seeing what good ones look like !!!
