But, when a person (Evan) in one venue of dog sports I love (conformation) belittles and insults another venue (schutzhund, a venue into which I pour a lot of time and effort), I do take exception. I don't remember belittling schutzhund. I love the sport, and maybe some thought being called aggressive is an insult. As a trial attorney, I consider it a badge of honer. I have always supported the WDA, and was on the board when some wanted to drop them, and I agued for them. Up until a week or so ago, I was a WDA member. I resigned only due to some concerns about liability of the membership. I strongly urge people to attend the WDA shows, and I feel it is an important aspect of our sport. Why anyone thought I was not in support of schutzhund, is something I cannot answer. When I said that people attracted to schutzhund mostly advertised the bite work, and were more aggressive than those in conformation the schutzhund people get very hostle to me and what I said. See!
