It seems as if the TEMPERAMENT TEST has taken on a life of its own and has become a monster. It seems as if some of these weird judges are using their interepretations of the test. Take the Futurity--yes, please take it. At last Spring's Futurity, the judge did some kind of ballet movement in front of my bitch (Todorhaus Marquis Rebecca). I never could figure out why MY bitch was singled out for these strange movements--she is sound. My handler couldn't figure it out either. In retrospect, I should have done something, written someone--but I didn't. My fault. The only way to stop these weirdos is to make sure they don't get any more assignments.
