EVERYONE --- Please read Jeff's statement below one more time - carefully - as it's full of more of just what our sport IS and/or SHOULD BE --- However, I'd like to add one more bit to it -- Each Judge should work with the idea of just what that one day of judging presents. Yep, like the good old one -- "One day at a time" along with an open mind toward sportsmanship, something I see that Jeff has bunches of for sure. TNX for sharing and allowing me to comment. OK, I'll lurk a bit. Norma no L ----- Original Message ----- From: <caggra@xxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 9:28 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Bred-by ........ It should not matter what class a dog comes from or who shows the dog or takes it back in the ring for winner's. The judge's job is very clear - Select the best animal shown to you as your winner based on the standard for that breed, nothing more, nothing less.
