I would like to see it done consistantly. Maybe at the judge's seminar at
the national, have ONE way to do the approach and teach the judges the correct
way. Make the test uniform. I have seen judges stalk dogs and other judges
reach way out there to tap them on top of the head. I watched a judge at a
futurity go numerous times up to one dog that bucked like a wild bronco on
approach, finally was able to barely tap his head and then placed the dog in a
large class. I watched another judge stand way back then rush at the dog and
bent
far forward to touch his head. That judge had several dogs jerk their heads
back on him. When the public at ringside sees this, what kind of message are
we giving them ? The GSD is the only breed at all breed shows given the
temperament test. Personally,I feel that just makes everyone suspect that
there is
a problem. I've heard many ask why the judge did that. We need one, thats for
darned sure. But we need one that is uniform.
