We are not talking good we are talking Great dogs with great records. And I said I can't name them. Refresh my memory. Fred No, I think we are talking Jimmy worshiping. But you have just proved a point. Many judges think if Jimmy has it, it must be good. Commentaries such as "that dog Jimmy is showing" are a dead give away. Has he shown good dogs? I think so, but not all the dogs he shows are good. That his dogs had good records doesn't make them all good dogs. What was it someone said earlier? He can finish a 3 legged dog <G> I think Mystique came as close to perfect as any GSD I've ever seen. Mind and body, I was around the ring when Jimmy was showing her, and it was an honor to have HER (not Jimmy) represent our breed. And her late owner (Jane) was a pleasure to be around. Talk about a classy lady. I want you all to understand I am not hating Jimmy, or any of his dogs. I am hating the idol worshiping that goes on, at the expense of all the others exhibitors. Just for kicks, look at Peggy's and Carolyn's answers. They mentioned GREAT dogs that were not with Jimmy. You must forgive me, my memory of GSD's only goes back about 20 years.
