I can reply to the question below. I do performance with my dog and I am
always amazed by the inquiries and compliments that I receive about him. I had
one lady say to me that was at one of the shows "I am surprised he still has
any hair on the top of his head with all of the people that come by to meet and
pet your dog". With all of the positive attention he gets I always go away
thinking of how lucky I am to co-own him; he always makes me so proud.

I would be curious to know if anybody has ever taken a good looking, sound
tempered, clean coming and going, but angulated shepherd to a performance
trial and gotten a reaction from the exhibitors which was not
welcoming and
complementing? I know at our local conformation shows if someone comes by
with a good looking, but obviously not a show quality shepherd, we all still
go over and complement the dog to the owner and ask where the dog came
from. Trying to be nice, not looking for an opportunity to tear down the
breeder.
I ask this because it seems that any degree of angulation will cause some
folks to decry the "poor shepherd breed" and how far the breed has fallen.
I wonder if you had taken a top conformation winning shepherd with you to a
performance event, whether you would have been as welcome. Just curious.
