JAMIE: Paul Posey, a Beloved Handler , tragically dying in the Show Ring,
of a Heart Attack, at the Nationals in 1959, in the Puppy Class , was the
beginning of the end , as far as extensive gaiting is concerned. Although he
had barely gone over a couple of laps.. The AKC jumped in and began to put
the brakes on... So now, not much can be done about it...Few care anyway..
When
you Judge you have to be concerned of the Handlers , because they are not
allowed to hand off the dogs to other Handlers when they tire, as we used to
do...Until the AKC stopped that too... Your right... ... Most are just glad
to get in and get out of the ring, and go home.. No one expects any extensive
gaiting .. most are not conditioned for it, anyway... So, it is not going to
change ...or ever Go Back to That Time...
.I am just glad I was there then, to be part of it . .
I wouldn't have missed it for the World... Barb W.
