I had a different experience showing to Linda Robey. Of course, no big name
all-breed handlers were present (and, they are not likely to be present at
Central Mass' specialty, either). She found my Ch Heritage-Windy Acres' Flower
- put her to the breed. Flower was BOP at the national and BOM under Dave
Rinke. She finished with 4 majors under specialty judges. Sandy Dancosse (who
I love to show to - she does an excellent job) has given her a specialty BOB.
So, I'll be supporting the GSDC of Central Mass. I usually do anyway, whether I
like the judge or not. If we don't support clubs - whether we like the judge
in a particular year or not - our specialty clubs will die. I'm hoping all
active exhibitors in the northeast will support the NH/AVGSDC weekend in
September. If not, this could very well be AVGDC's last show...
Linda's breed is the Belgian shepherd - much softer in temperament than our
GSD's. Judges sometimes revert to the breed they know best when judging -
whether they should or not. For example, Sheltie breeder judges are more
forgiving on temperament evalualtion than some others. Not an excuse for what
happened in Florida - but maybe a partial explanation.
