Nicely stated Evan and I think this is 2007? If I am correct:) So we need to look to the future of our breed and we could beat the past to death and for what good or purpose? We all have opinions and experiences, that is what makes us human individuals even as Judges, whether we agree with them or not which I can understand having been in the ring showing in the past. I would encourage us all to respect our fellow human being in the ring and out of the ring. The are much bigger issues facing us in our world, and dog shows are a minor factor in our lives as we pray for our soldiers in Iraq.
