The PROBLEM is Helen is that if you start expounding on the virtues of a dog you DO NOT OWN....then it should be allowed for every great dog. How about a dog with 26 BISS/ BOBs with a Specialty finishing , Group Winning son? Shouldn't dogs like this get equal time??????? There are a lot of great dogs...but for a judge to clearly promote one, ad nauseum ...which this is...is unseemly and just plain wrong....equal time for all stud dogs with great Specialty and AB records and progeny doing the same ....or nothing....for everyone...equally.
