Mediocre Champions....I have always sort of cringed when I heard this expression...I would not dare to suggest that they don't exist......but God knows how hard it usually is to get a dog his or her Championship....then to be "marked" mediocre...I guess it would sort of sting a bit...if these Mediocre champions do exist...why do they exist?...and who's fault is it?....the breeder.... the judge,.... the owner?...all three ...none of the above?...all Champions are not equal...so If your Champion is not great...or if he's not even good....how did he get to be a champion?........just asking....Ed ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
