Sally, I would think everyone would be tickled to see ALL aspects of our breed and the good things that are being done. There is SO much more to these dogs than what goes on in the conformation ring!! I have always LOVED to see these awards! In fact the ONLY reason I went to the Florida Nationals was to see, who I feel is the epitome of the breed HIMSELF...the one and only Leroy Brown.
