I used to show Cairns - made me think the GSD ring was quiet.

The really unfortunate thing for the show GSDs is the need to double. By
doubling, you are making the dogs so intense that they do things like whine and
squeal and pull their owners out of the ring, etc. I am not saying doubling is
good or bad, I am just saying that it has a tendancy to make dogs dependent and
needy and in some cases downright obnoxious. If that's all the public sees at
shows, then what do you expect?
It is also one of the breeds that often times the dogs can't stand peacefully
at ringside. There are dogs jumping around, backing out of collars, etc. I am
not sayind this happens all the time, but often enough so it is the image that
stays in people's heads.
A well trained, well socialized GSD is a pleasure to own. Both of my girls are
wonderful ambassadors for the breed - I know they are tough - I come from
Dalmatians and they aren't all silly Golden Retrievers either. But they have
proper, respectful manners and are a pleasure to take everywhere. Even the
rangers at the local state park like our dogs...
I would never fault Kirk for his move - but then I come from Dals and I could
see a Dalmatian barking at the Border Collie too. And I, unlike Evan - have no
tact and probably would have said something ugly to the owner of the BC.
Remember, we are the guardians of these breeds. If you hate the reputation your
breed has - get out there and do something about it!
