in fact I am part Native American (Oklahoma Cherokee)...There is an old

straight....this is a perfect analogy explaining why our breed works well with
skilled
handlers.

If you keep this up I'll have to stop posting and let you do all of the good
analogies. lol
In one way, I agree completely. Good handlers do make a big difference in
how any dog looks. On the other hand, there are dogs that even the best
handlers cannot make to look like a star. As a matter of fact though, this
doesn't
necessarily mean that dog will not go far, which leaves some judges suspect.
All in all, everyone in this debate is correct because judges are human ... but
you covered that in a recent analogy <G>.
By the way ... Peggy is about one eighth Cherokee. Should we put your name
on the list the next time her side of the family has a reunion? <g>
