But Kathy, isn't the point of having it videotaped to make sure that EACH test is as much the same as absolutely possible??? By the way, I did see a dog afraid of the sheep, and one that was ready to eat them!!! It was a great way to start at the National! Watching dogs doing what they are bred to do, and watching them with their first time with the sheep. Loved that time!
