Sidetracking this a little, good sportsmanship is alive and well in Minnesota!!! I had the opportunity to judge GSDs at the Wright County KC show in Minnesota yesterday. While the weather was a little cold and windy, the folks there were warm and the sportsmanship was outstanding. The handlers were polite and having fun. The crowd was having fun. The steward (in his beautiful navy pin-stiped suit and immaculate white shirt) was having fun. Even the AKC Rep had a good time watching the dogs. There were beautiful bitches and handsome, hunky dogs. No signs of dying and really nice temperaments. I know there are bad things that can go on, but there are a lot of places where good sportsmanship still reigns! Hats off to the good guys!!
