I hate it. Got WD twice and didn't get the cross over because of stupid
judges.
Is it possible that the judge didn't give the cross over due to thinking it was
not deserved? I was asked by a non dog person, (they had just watched Best In
Show), if there were crooked judges. I responded not so much, but some stupid
ones. I never have believed that politics was prevalent, but rather an excuse
for not winning.
When someone talks to me about a political win, I ask them to name judges who
are crooked. It often brings a lot of silence.

A lot of It is politics. I have seen too much of that and don't want
to compete in that type of sport. I want the dog to win.

Almost every one of us surely has many reasons why they are no
longer showing. # One is age related for people as well as dogs, # Two is
surely the financial burden it puts on you unless you are rich, and # Three has
a lot to do with the credibility of some handlers or judges one might have to
deal with, # Four may be out of your range to travel and as such being unable
to take off enough time to go to shows unless one is not working. I am sure
there are many more reasons which every one of us may have to deal with. No
majors near by? Then traveling will have to be a huge reason.
I could relate to all of the above.

I have so many opinions on this subject but let me respond to
your question "what is wrong with us".... Well, as a group,show people are NOT
socially engaging of new people. I went to a Great Dane Specialty show two
weeks ago with my wife ( she hates dog shows) we stayed through a large entry
of males and we left after winners dog! Not one person approved me with any
type of probing comments or questions other than a few polite "hello"
greetings, 20 years ago I'd understand folks not approaching me since I looked
like I just got out of prison! About 16 or 17 years ago, I show up at a GSD
specialty with my wife ( did I tell you she hates dog shows?) well guess what,
no one came up to us that day, with the exception of Evan! He was extremely
friendly, asked us what we thought about the show etc etc! Little has changed
from these two anecdotal experiences... On second thought maybe Evan came up to
us because he thought I might need a criminal attorney... lol who knows. Part
two of this post a bit later. FB

Where have all the good dogs gone? Long time passing. Gone
to pet homes every one, long time ago.....
My heart is broken when I see the entry of the local
specialties. TWENTY total.
That is not acceptable! Not acceptable for the hosting club,
not acceptable for the judges traveling, not acceptable for the ringside....not
acceptable for us elderly traveling to watch the show. I will no longer drive
4 hours to watch a show that has an entry of 20 with perhaps 16 attending. I
miss my dog shows! I also find it physically difficult flying many hours to
judge 15 dogs. I am sad down to my very toes. I so love my German Shepherds,
there are no better, no more beautiful, no smarter, no more wonderful
dogs....WHAT IS WRONG WITH US !!!!!
