I have only seen it one year and it dragged out our show for over two hours. I totally disagree. I do not think it dumbed down our show in the least. How can showing beautiful dogs by excited young people possibly dumb down our breed or show? It did not drag down the show. Having ten and 20 minutes between its classes dragged the show. It could have been over in an hour if it had run class right after class with no long breaks between. This is a subject Evan and I have agreed to disagree on. I still love him to death. People can have differences of opinion and still respect each other. If we all agreed only one dog would have to show up to win all dog shows.
