Had shows this weekend I encountered the poorest sportsmanship I have ever =
encountered in my 40 years of showing shepherds.I am so disheartened by wha=
t went on ringside .There were several decent dogs at this show that were d=
eserving of the points .After finishing our WOW at Specialties and enjoying=
 the Breed clubs and their exhibitors this is a real heartbreak.I feel this=
 is one of the reasons why we are losing exhibitors across this country. Th=
is person did not need the points. Her friend pulled her dog and broke the =
points as they have done several times in the past.Her dog was singled  out=
 and  needs majors.What is the Protocol on this why is this allowed .Why do=
 they want to show their dog and take points away from other folks. She ins=
isted she had to show her dog.This person is not a breeder or exhibitor jus=
t a Pet owner.This is a very selfish person as are her friends always in tu=
rmoil  She says she bought the dog from it's previous owner because
 the previous owner abused it.Talking about her friend  this way I thought =
was tastless.This is a shepherd poor area ,not any breeders or exhibitors i=
n this area. We  are lucky to get a two point show built.This person and he=
r friends are the reason alot of new folks don't want to show dogs here.The=
ir lack of respect for other exhibitors and  their dogs have ruined an area=
 that once was a good area to show in .I am sad to say our area is being de=
stoyed by these people .We can't even build a club here because new people =
don't want to deal with their attitudes and poor sportmanship ring side.Any=
 suggestions  from you please.Just want to enjoy a nice dogshow weekend wit=
h the other folks ringside without incident.What can we do about these peop=
le and their causing problems and havoc ringside. Help  us clean up please
