I am surprised that no one mentioned the Terrier group judge last night....I think the guy did a wonderful job...how exciting that he had some of the dogs face off or spar with each other, he went over some of the dogs several times , he spoke often with the handlers, he made sure he did not shock the dogs with static electricity..he got me all into that group!..... our German Shepherd!...I am sure everyone noticed that the people's choice for group winner by an OVER WHELMING number was the German Shepherd Dog!...we have a very popular breed, yet we are losing clubs, club members and struggling at the National Club level to grow our club!...whats the answer?.....I don't know....but if we could some how invite Animal Planet to our National for the week and have them do an Hour National TV show on us...how great would that be?.......time to go visit my ex-wife's guide dog...she's right..I do like the dog more than her...but don't tell her...lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
