Yap -- as usual, our magical atty. list member says it right. I enjoyed the Cardi competition and liked the black & white the winning handler wore and that dog was black & white. Neat combo! However, we really should have judges who look at the correct end of the leash only!! I know several who do!!

A stunning outline on a dark dog is lost to someone wearing black or dark colors. It is something I teach the juniors as apparel is important to sell the package...right after having a good dog. I have to admit, I wore a white suit just to show Patriot in the Parade of Greats. I do think it makes sense to keep the judge's eye on the dog. I have seen some handlers dress in ways that distract from the dog they are showing. I watched the German shepherds at the Garden, and I thought everyone did fine. I even liked Teressa's red outfit. On another note, if they can do streaming video to be watched at a different time, so can the GSDCA. If anyone who has the knowledge can tell the board how to do it, and also, how to do the video board meeting so the members can watch, it would be great for our club.
