how about the other breed exhibitors? yesterday, while relaxing and
watching karen judge, i heard ...
1. from an irish setter exhibitor - "your dog barked" - she was referring
to a crated GSD bitch, sitting right behind her owners, who had the
AUDACITY to bark at another dog as it passed her crate. the irish handler was
furious and started yelling at the GSD bitch. thankfully, the owner told her
what for and shut her up
2. from a host club member - the presence of a couple of ex-penned GSDS
was "terrifying" some chows and the chows pitched a fit (of course, THAT was
also blamed on the GSDs) - the club rep claimed the GSDs were "mean".
trust me, i had judged these dogs the day before and they are NOT mean - just
dogs. dogs BARK - go figure. thankfully, one of our handlers told him off.
3. from an aussie handler who was angry that a young male GSD was
sniffing her bitch's butt. she actually said, "this bitch is breedable!".
well,
DUH, lady - you're at a dog show, your bitch is in season and this male dog
noticed!
4. from a weird man with 2 large somethings (i don't remember what breed
he had) who actually walked the 100 plus feet AWAY FROM THE RING and behind
shrubbery and a bathroom building to come tell us that calling our dog was
bothering everyone at his ring. we were NOT being disruptive at all.
for whatever reason, our breed has a bad rep - undeserved and unfair. by
the time i left yesterday, i wanted to tell the rest of the dog world to
GET REAL DOGS! i love many other breeds but the people are ridiculous.

We need to educate the judges out there, (not the specialty judges) that

our
dogs are going to attack first chance the get. Well, not all of them
anyway.
