I hear more often than not that the performance people are surprised that a conformation person would even TALK to them, let alone congratulate them on a great run. How many of you at the National congratulated the owner of Lil Shepherd Girl (aka Sheppie) on her MACH? I know I did. I saw that run, and it was absolutely GORGEOUS. How many that didn't have dogs entered in performance went over and watched them show over there? I saw quite a few of them come over to our rings to watch. - Jackie In a message dated 10/22/2006 5:08:16 PM Central Daylight Time, GSD0110@xxxxxxx writes: I have yet to hear of the obedience people inviting our WD, WB and GV into THEIR arena to be honored... Neither one of these posts make any sense IMO. The winners in every category are honored in the main arena because that's where the majority of spectators are. What would you suggest Gary? That the GV, GVX stop by the performance arenas AFTER the performance activities are all over? Because that's when they are crowned GV, GVX after all, or has it been a while since you've seen the judging program?? And Jackie, your comment that "more often than not the conf people treat the performance people like junk unless they too show in performance? " only serves to illustrate your total lack of experience.
