A dog who already is a champion is not a new dog to the german shepherd community. Why did it take her so long to contact the owner and purchase an interest in the dog? I don't know the answers to these questions, and it could merely be a coincidence that she purchased an interest in the dog right after the show, but it sure makes someone think about the issue. This goes to the issue of appearance of impropriety. Again, I don't know the facts in this case and it can all be coincidence.

Anyone can see a dog at a Show, and try to purchase that dog, whether a Judge, Handler, Breeder or fancier. And I'm sure many do - I'm also sure that any of the above said people are going to Purchase a dog meeting THEIR criteria of a "GREAT GSD". So what is the PROBELEM?
