One of the biggest reasons for lower entries are the handlers fees.A/B handlers
that show many breeds are allot cheaper than our GS Specialty handlers and the
expenses are allot less.It would be nice if people used the "new" handlers more
but few are willing to take the chance as so many judges look at the "faces" in
the ring.
Honestly, as the handlers that we all recognize are becoming fewer and fewer
and they do not move like years ago this will have to change. LOLJoan

Carolyn I think much of what you cite is true for many. However it has been
argued on many occasions on this List that the 'economy" is major factor in the
dwindling of the GSD entry. The economy pertains to all, not just to the GSD
exhibitor and it doesn't seem to be affecting the entries of many other breeds
. CG
Some are
Breed because of the way they show??
It really never matters to me how
many Labs or other Breeds fill their rings.
I would never give up GSD's
just so I could handle in the show ring.
This IS the Breed!! <G>I think we cannot ever judge our
Breed by another Breed. I am sure
they have theirshare of popular judges, popular
show venues, time of year....nice indoor ring, or nice
outdoor ring...whichever they
prefer that attracts them...or 'cyles of Breed
popularity'.Same syndromes we have with our Breed. Does
it really matter that they outnumberus? Do we
really want a GSD that moves like a Golden?YEP...we definitely have some
issues with how our Breed is shown.
At times it makes it really really tough to
compete. That our GSD shows and
Clubs are failing IS a major concern. But personally
I love to watch a great German Shepherd Dog
gaiteasily around a BIG ring with an
attitude of loving it, and the desire to go again. YEP...it is difficult for
some of
us to show them that way....and YEP...someone my age
can no longer keep up. Actually most of us breed dogs we
CANNOT keep up with anyway.
<G> I'm grateful for handlers to take them
and keep up with them.We can't change the breed or
show venue because WE age!
<G> It's gratifying to us to see
our dog perform at its best and happy in the ring showing
off side gait and quality the way
we've trained them with a handler that allows them to
show that way.
I don't care to watch a long striding GSD in a
small ring....especially indoors.
Just is not what I want to do or watch. That's just me....Some choose to
send their dogs
away....some prefer All Breeds....I can't do
either....but I cannot criticize that
either. Their choice......your
choice...... my choice.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Specialty
closed due to maxed out entries The entries for Labs are
large here also and so many of the dogs are owner handled.
The style of showing our breed has evolved into something
that most owners can't take part in. It is not as much
fun sending your dog off to a pro to condition and show
while you have no part in it other than signing checks. Most
people get involved in dog events because they want
something they can do with their dog and we are rapidly
leaving them all to find other breeds. Been to a Siberian
Specialty lately? Almost all of the dogs are shown in Bred
By and their breeders are generally amateur
handlers.
