Ms Grainger....like I said earlier...I am not saying there are no Mediocre
Champions...but to point out one as "mediocre"...stings...I compete in
California...and for more than one reason It is not easy to win here, and
that's not a bad thing...it should be difficult to obtain the title of
Champion...and flying down to "Red Butt" Montana where you think you can win
against inferior dogs....well...that's not easy either...and I am not speaking
for Paul...he does that very well himself...but if you got your dog to its
Championship...no matter how ya did it, no matter where you went, no matter who
you beat...my hat is off to you...some champions are better than others, this I
am sure we can agree on...now for an ugly analogy...if I'm watching a beauty
contest ( do they still have those)....the ugliest woman in the contest...is
STILL a beautiful woman...a Champion...is still a champion...Ed

the others I have read) are pure
Bull Sh--!!..There are plenty of mediocre dogs that finish.I have witnessed
them finishing..Here is a "for instance": Say, I had my heart set on
finishing a dog I knew was mediocre( which would only happen if I were
desperate)..I would drag him to BFE, someplace like Montana..Idaho or South
Dakota..where it takes 7 dogs to make a major.. and try to get him finished
with competition that could be equally as mediocre However you see I would
recognize he is mediocre..that is why I am showing him where the completion
is not stiff..How can you "claim" to have knowledge of this breed but yet
can't or don't recognize mediocrity exists and believe that all champions
are worthy...no wonder our overall quality keeps declining...the standard
bar keeps getting lowered instead of elevated because people can't tell the
difference!..You can't expect to breed greatness if you can't discern the
difference between it and below average. NO WONDER people get shafted when
purchasing show puppies...they either can't tell a good one from a mediocre
one and they buy from breeders who can't either!!! C.Grainger
