Years ago a handler convinced me to pull my dog because he needed one point, and the show was a major. I regret it to this day! It took me six months to get that one point. He had won the day before and was on a roll. I'm sorry, but next time I'll waste a major. :) Cyndy -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ALL4MORIAH@xxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 12:28 PM To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Breaking majors Anyone that breaks a major just to keep someone else from getting it is _*&^%$#@$_ (mailto:*&^$#@$) ^&. I remember driving over 1000 miles , one way to shows where there were majors only to have people pull because they were afraid my dog would beat theirs. and yes I too paid my entries and great expense to get there. For people to do this doesn't say much for what they really think of their own dog, so why bother showing it in the first place. Pulling for any other reason other than lameness or illness is just totally unethical and disrespectful . And as they say in the old country. "What goes around comes around."
