I thought Mary Carillo handled it far better than the guys who have been there before. She is not a dog show person but looks at it like the public does. She is smart, sensible and has a good sense of humor - something that many former commentators were seriously lacking.

Considering some of the people that poor David has had to deal with in the past, I think this was an improvement. And I give him a lot of credit - he manages all those situations quite well and doesn't loose a step very often. And.... You guys all forget that those of us who are show folks are a small minority of who is actually watching..... Most of the people that are watching are pet folks who would have all the same observations as the lady commentator... JMHO... Some years ago, DCA didn't like what David was saying about Dals - so I got in touch with him and we sent him some new revamped stuff... Now they don't talk about the dals at all :-) Not a bad thing.. We'll let dogs like Tanner be the representative for our breed with happy wagging tails and a kiss for the judge.
