Was the temperament test discussed at the last board meeting, and if so, what were the issues and outcomes? Laurie Pruett =================================================================== Laurie, The in-ring temperament test evaluation was discussed, at length, during the April board meeting. Two basic decisions were reached: - The committee was to review the video tape that is provided to National/Futurity judges and used during educational seminars to ensure that it is clear and that it contains no irrelevant footage that may be confusing to judges. - The GSDCA will write a letter to AKC requesting that the in-ring temperament test evaluation not be used by all breed judges that have not received proper education on its use and application. After much discussion, I believe that was the essence of the outcome. However, the minutes of this meeting will provide the membership with more precise information. Thanks.
