Evan -- You are 100 percent right, in all respects. I think you describe
the feelings of fully 90 percent of the breeder judges, and also their
feelings with the rumors or snide remarks come to light. And, thing like
what happened on Long Island the past weekend, are so disgusting it is
unacceptable. The people responsible for those rumors should be
horsewhipped, tarred & feathered, and ridden out of the AKC on a rail!
