Before I get excited, I would like to hear what there is of this subject. If someone suggested stopping the pressure on the judges on how to do the test, I would be all for that. If the idea is that we no longer test our dogs, I would be against it. I am against putting pressure on our judges, be it how to judge or how many Selects to find. I have faith in our board, that they would not suggest eliminating the temperament test. But, I have not heard from the board. Until that time, I will withhold my indignation. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
