I just hate it when someone other than me makes sense. The standards are different. We judge each by a different standard. Obedience is not judged against our standard, and conformation is not judged on performance. I know some think it should be all the same, but it is not. When you all get on the board, maybe you can change that. We can have each form of competition be given points and the Grand Victor be the dog with the most points. Now on the cover of the Review we can have a a faded sable with three missing premolars who constantly limps. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
