There is no accounting for taste. Hell, Tedi married me and even his wife
married Ed.
How do we know barbeque tastes the same to everyone? Some people eat hot
foods, and others like bland. Some like sweet, while others like bland.
Some people have no taste at all, (like those who have other brands than
German shepherds).
Everyone knows a good dog, but different people can judge them
differently. I have said for years, (and to Ed), a judge may be honest, but
just
stupid.
There is so much less politics in judging than those who lose say.
Consider your entry, then if you keep losing, it is time to reconsider what
you
are showing.
There is no template for the best German shepherd, just a general
interpretation of the standard. So long as the judge does what he/she thinks
if the
best he/she can do, I am satisfied.
When the judges at the Supreme Court disagree with me, I don't find
excuses for that decision. They have as much right to be wrong as anyone else.
But, that is just me.
