Typically you don't rattle my cage, as I find most of what you post rather
whimsical, and fairly disingenuous, but I think the below is rather
condescending. So, this is for all those thinking what I am about to say" Are
you for real??????" And you formulated your opinion how..by looking at 7 class
dogs this past weekend? have you ever put a wicket to any of the dogs you have
bred to??? Seriously??? Temperament..seriously..do you really want to go
there??? When I read the below, the first thing that came to mind was "do as I
say, not as I do." This may not be what you intended, but is what I perceive.

We need
to stop complaining that our breed is so handler based,
and start
doing
something about it,
beginning with ring control Slow them down, so
more people can show the
dogs.
I just showed under four judges last weekend,
Dick Jones, Sheree
Moses, Bob Kish and Cindy
Flaut. They all demanded
slow on a loose lead. I watched great secondary sex
characteristics good
movement, and great temperament. No one should
be showing dogs that
don't have good temperament, unless they have extra
money to burn.
They were all shown slow, on a loose lead and very few
were not worthy of
points. I think perhaps there are shows with racing
dogs, bitchey heads on
the males, and perhaps doggy bitches. Not that I
have seen
lately.
I might want to complain about the size of our
dogs, but that is
another story. They are big, and the size of the Select
males this year pointed
that out.
But, I haven't been seeing dogs race around the
ring in years. I have told
some who show under me when I judge that after they
show me slow on a loose
lead, they can do what they want. I make it clear that
I am not going to
judge them that way. I know that all four of the judges this
weekend had
some of the entries take another pass to get a slow
trot.
I guess I see it differently from others who complain
about the ring. I
went to two shows in Freemont a month ago, and saw the same
thing.
I was in San Diego last weekend, and saw slow,
with a loose
lead.
Perhaps I am reporting from what I am
seeing, and not what I am
reading. That does not make me right, nor does it make me
wrong.
I can only repeat what I see.
