This could have been a good discussion of course the bashers and sore
losers have to come in with all their excuses and of course don't sign their
name so we could maybe tell how great their dogs are that are being beaten by
politics. Done with this hitting the delete button. Sorry but I like to
know the opinion of that person when reading to see if it deserves credit or
not and all these unsigned post are not for me. Going to facebook where I
know who is posting.

Well when they are dragging toes and loose backs that win it really turns
us off of showing when we have a balanced Shepherd. Sorry I have tried and
spent too much with only needing one major.

When you reply "politics" I don't buy it. A good or great dog will win on
it's own merits.
The handler is able to show the dogs merits, but if it's a decent judge,
the judge will see
the dog no matter what. A great dog will win and win and win, period.

A lot of It is politics. I have seen too much of that and don't want to
compete in that type of sport. I want the dog to win.

Almost every one of us surely has many reasons why they are no longer
showing. # One is age related for people as well as dogs, # Two is surely the
financial burden it puts on you unless you are rich, and # Three has a lot
to do with the credibility of some handlers or judges one might have to deal
with, # Four may be out of your range to travel and as such being unable
to take off enough time to go to shows unless one is not working. I am sure
there are many more reasons which every one of us may have to deal with.
No majors near by? Then traveling will have to be a huge reason.
I could relate to all of the above.

I have so many opinions on this subject but let me respond to your
question "what is wrong with us".... Well, as a group,show people are NOT
socially
engaging of new people. I went to a Great Dane Specialty show two weeks
ago with my wife ( she hates dog shows) we stayed through a large entry of
males and we left after winners dog! Not one person approved me with any type
of probing comments or questions other than a few polite "hello"
greetings, 20 years ago I'd understand folks not approaching me since I looked
like
I just got out of prison! About 16 or 17 years ago, I show up at a GSD
specialty with my wife ( did I tell you she hates dog shows?) well guess what,
no one came up to us that day, with the exception of Evan! He was extremely
friendly, asked us what we thought about the show etc etc! Little has
changed from these two anecdotal experiences... On second thought maybe Evan
came up to us because he thought I might need a criminal attorney... lol who
knows. Part two of this post a bit later. FB

Where have all the good dogs gone? Long time passing. Gone to pet homes
every one, long time ago.....
My heart is broken when I see the entry of the local specialties. TWENTY
total.
That is not acceptable! Not acceptable for the hosting club, not
acceptable for the judges traveling, not acceptable for the ringside....not
acceptable for us elderly traveling to watch the show. I will no longer drive
4
hours to watch a show that has an entry of 20 with perhaps 16 attending. I
miss my dog shows! I also find it physically difficult flying many hours
to judge 15 dogs. I am sad down to my very toes. I so love my German
Shepherds, there are no better, no more beautiful, no smarter, no more
wonderful dogs....WHAT IS WRONG WITH US !!!!!
