The promotion angle, which again is not according to AKC, loses something in translation when you consider that I DON'T have any interest in these dogs in any way, have never judged them, never will, and stand to gain NOTHING! Nothing except my love of the breed and it's future that is. Get rid of the cow-hocked, toe dragging dogs and get back to correctness....please! Let's win in both rings. See those that can do it. Look hard. Chyna did it! And...no one is perfect...least of all me. To err is human, to forgive devine. We are not devine.
