here is another "pet peeve" of mine.. how often have you heard this
conversation from handlers?
"So, how was the show last weekend?" "Great! I won WD,WB, BOB and Group
2!!!"

I would so love to actually hear..
"So, how was the show last weekend?" "Great! I handled Jane's dog Rex to WD,
Sally's bitch Lady to WB and the best was handling Frank's dog Butch to a
BOB and Group 2nd!"

A little less ego and more credit to the dogs and the owners themselves,
please..

> While there will always be those judges who will give the win to a well
known handler either because they don't know the breed well enough to think
on their own,  or because they are afraid of "what people think", there are
many out there that will give it to the dog not to the handler.  Certain
handlers, who are successful-- and that makes them targets for jealous
people--win because they generally have the best dogs and also know how to
groom and show them to their best advantage.  Yes, unfortunately, money does
play a big part in this, but that is life in general.  You have to learn to
deal with it.  If you can't, stay away from dog shows.

> I for one, will continue to show my dogs as long as I can, and will try to
show under juges who are fair, knowledgeable and give every dog in the ring
a good look, whether it is mine or somebody else's.  What I can't understand
is judges who will go to great lengths with the temperament test(important
to me) and then move up a dog that fails it.  That is something so obvious,
that every judge should be able to do correctly and consider in his/her
placements.  But then some judges also don't know how to approach a dog
correctly to do the exam.
