WOW!
I find this kind of thinking causing a HUGE chasm between Obedience and
Conformation
and I absolutely do not think that should be.
Why shouldn't an Obedience dog be just as impressive as the Conformation dog
and WHY
shouldn't the Conformation dog be capable of any kind of work?????
Maybe BECAUSE of owners......but not the Breed Standard!!! THERE IS NO
SEPARATION!!
Lets just keep it simple and stick with the Standard and this Breed will endure
as long as we do..
Has anyone told Julie Degen or Lori Nickeson about this big separation???
<G>
During all of this discussion that sounds like we are throwing whites out
......even though it is more
about the Parent Club honoring the Breed Standard.
Remember
They have their own shows....their own Champions and their own National and
National Awards!

Hi All;
..................................
Allow dogs who are shown in Obedience be eligible for the GV award even if
they have faults
is should be totally acceptable. Dogs in performance are shown for their
ability to learn and
perform specific exercises, not based on the confirmation standard, it is
not a beauty contest.
Performance folks put a lot of time and energy training their dogs, so why
should they not be
eligible.
If you want to compete in confirmation, you want a dog that is as close to
the standard as
possible. If you are competing in performance, you want good hips, elbows,
temperament
and brains, you are not looking at the beauty part.
