There are several issues in our breed. Dead tails. Lack of follow through.
Dragging Toes. Weak backs. Shoulders. Pasterns. I could go on.... Some
of these are very severe in our breed right now. So, should we allocate an
Observer to watch over judges in each of these areas too? No we should not.
We elect judges to judge. Let them do it. If they don't do a good job in one
way or another, simply do not elect them again.

Well, that's you and if everyone in the middle of the ring did the same we
ouldn't need a test. How many times have you seen poor temperament
verlooked/rewarded?
s for socialization, I still think it's important. I agree, it's not
oing to change character, but I don't think it's quite fair for a dog to be
ulled out of a pen and thrown into van, wet down, blown out, handed off to a
stranger, subject to bells, whistles etc. and be expected to show their
rue colors. It might work, it might not. Why leave anything to chance?
o you thing the horses that will start in the derby this weekend have been
ver to the paddock on non-race day a few times? Do you think they've
racticed in the gate??? (Rhetorical question; horses need a "gate card" before
being eligible to be entered.)
prefer to take a baby to a handful of classes, a handful of children's
porting practices etc. and make everything fun. And I've got house dogs
ol. But not all dogs live underfoot, I get that.

ocialized does not have the mind or instinctive character of a GSD. Character
