In our round table talk on Friday night one of the things i addressed was that we as judges breeders and exhibiters must talk to each other about the problems we have in our breed today. If we are not brutaly honest in what we say, talking is a waste of time. This in no way gives anyone the right to be rude but sometime the truth can seem rude. So say it with kindness in your voice and an offer to help in anyway you can.
