Almost without exception, I've been treated with respect and given encouragement. "Laugh a little more, give someone a hand up, always encourage each other, and ignore the rest." Great advice, Evan! Thank you.

She cried when a big burly guy showed her a tattoo of a GSD on his arm and said that the dog was dead. To me, this is the type of newbie we need in the show world. One who TRULY is in love her dog and the Breed. A novice like this should be nurtured, not laughed at. We all remember the young girl with the big smile at the national a few years back. She grinned all the way around the ring, and everyone applauded. We are a great group, and we will never let a few bring us down. We will survive and we are having a great time. Hear us roar. Laugh a little more, give someone a hand up, always encourage each other, and ignore the rest. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
