Well said Carolyn, I haven't heard the bashing either and I stay for a lot of groups, not one to show and run, too much to learn from the all'rounders (fellow breeders, handlers, judges).

I do not hear anyone blastingthe GSDs on temperament. Most admire them and are quite complementary oftheir calm, sensible demeanor outside the ring. Remember, one bad one can give the whole batch a bad rap, just like a bushel of apples.

Everywhere we've been today the exhibitors and spectators keep commenting on how beautiful he is and more importantly, how wonderful his temperament is and how rare that is (!!!). Well, his temperament is wonderful...as is his parents.' But how sad that this is the public's and dog world's image of the breed...bad temperament. I say, I couldn't care less if a dog being shown is unable to reproduce, if it has no disqualifying faults and its temperament makes it an ambassador for the breed. AND fellow GSDCNO listers, club member Pat Brannigan Won Breed and a 3 point major with her Peke today!! Brag hat next week....
