Pleeeeeeeze. My comments about the temperament were meant to be Constructive NOT Destructive to either the program nor the Evaluator. This man was only trying to do a job and should be respected for it. Not hung out to dry for crying out loud. I agree he IS a nice man. He did what HE felt was right at that time. Probably didn't think about how it was perceived from my stand point. I only had suggestions as to how to avoid this happening again. !. Do not ask the person personal questions about their dog or the breeding. 2. Armband numbers only on the score sheet. 3. Pass or fail on the dogs merits that day, not on what the handler might do with the dog later. That said Yoncolas Mike (sp?) Late 60's . Left his crate at a show and during the break went back into the ring and gated and stacked himself. As people watched and clapped he just continued all the more. Anyone else remember? I still have the pedigree of one of my first dogs from Ernest Loeb with Bernd in the third generation.
