I know a very good dog man who says "train, don't complain".
Seriously, some of the conformation folks should walk over to the
performance venues and hear the complaining; grass to long/wet, goose poop on
the
grass, exhibitors sitting to close, breed rings/food/other distractions too
close, sheep crazy/too light, judge must be blind and on and on and on.
Our OV and her owner did a fantastic job. If they do it again and keep a
dog w/o a DQ from the top spot...well "train, don't compalin".

Well at least he was able to win it once after being denied the
opportunity last year. If he keeps showing with white dogs, it may be a long
time
before the Obedience Grand victor/victrix is awarded to anyone. Shame.

Denise, you ask "why let them enter?".
Again, "Remember the dogs w/ DQs were still eligible for AKC awards, high
Combined in OB, High in Trial for herding/agility and THAT'S why people
who
had dogs w/ DQs still entered, for the qualifying scores/runs, for the
OTCH points etc. And yes, we took their money and yes, their scores were
recorded and the dogs competing got all of the AKC awards they were
eligible
for."
I don't know how active you are in performance but there are all sorts of
awards at many trials, for example, the Golden or Poodle people as well as
GSD people may sponsor High Scoring for that breed, High Scoring Rescue,
now
we see High Scoring ILP/PAL. You can make up any criteria you like for an
award as long as it is listed in the premium. I may not have a rescue or
ILP dog, so therefore would not be eligible for those awards, and that's
fine, right? My qualifying scores or OTCH points earned would still count
towards my AKC titles/awards.
I don't think any competitor reads a premium more closely than a
performance exhibitor. They know what they are eligible for or not
eligible for.

Sorry Kathy was not done with the e-mail was trying to save and continue
but hit send. My point is that it has happened twice now they worked hard
and
if they are unable to win then why let them enter the national? To take
their money and say oops you have the best score but your dog is white
sorry?
I feel so sorry for the person because we bitch and complain that they
won
and take away their glory and excitement? We do it to our selfs in
confirmation which is sad and now performance? Now wonder people think we
are
snobs and newbies leave as fast as they came. We are all pissed off all
the
time and can't own up that in some cases the dog was not what the judge
wanted. I am not talking politics and handlers. Example this years
National I
put my bitch in specials and she was not in the running. I was fine with
it I
know she doesn't have a lot of rear drive and she has one speed fast. I
was happy with her performance and my young handler did an awesome job.
Others were pissed off about it. Why because I didn't win because I had a
young
handler and my bitch is nice. All through I appreciate that they think I
have a nice bitch. The funny part is that I was the one saying why she
was
not chosen. If whites can not win the huge award they should not be able
to
enter. Just like spooks, bits ect. These are DQ but yet they win. Why
because some of the DQ you can hide? Sorry your DQ is more obvious . Boy
do we
have a double standard. Again JMO

Denise, a little history. Prior to 2012 when, for whatever reason, the
"old rules", that a dog w/ a DQ could not win a top GSDCA award were left
off
the premium list, dogs who were eligible for the award were examined by
an
AKC judge to certify that had no DQs.
If a dog DID have a DQ, the GSDCA award was not offered that year, there
was no giving it to the next in line.
Remember the dogs w/ DQs were still eligible for AKC awards, high
Combined
in OB, High in Trial for herding/agility and THAT'S why people who had
dogs w/ DQs still entered, for the qualifying scores/runs, for the OTCH
points
etc. And yes, we took their money and yes, their scores were recorded and
the dogs competing got all of the AKC awards they were eligible for.
If you read the purpose of the GSDCA, "To define precisely and publish
definition of the true type, and to urge the adoption of such types on
breeders, judges, dog show committees, etc., as the only recognized and
unvarying
standard by which the German Shepherd Dog is to be judged, and which may
in
the future be uniformly accepted as the sole standard of excellence in
breeding and awarding prizes of merit; " you will see where there is a
conflict with awarding dogs with breed DQs a GSDCA prize of merit.
A lot of us took that above paragraph to heart. The proof of that is how
the ballot questions re DQs and ILPs and PALs turned out.
I know you are not old enough to remember the "conformation enthusiasts"
who fought so very hard to bring performance to the level of recognition
it
has today at our premiere event. Several would be turning in their
graves
at the thought we even needed to vote on DQs being eligible for the
awards
they fought so hard to have included.
I guess these days we have to specify "AKC", there are so many other
venues I get dizzy.
And for the record, I DO know what it takes to train a High Combined dog
and a High Scoring GSD in Utility at a large AKC trial, having done it.
I
am sick to death of those that think top winning breed dogs in AKC events
(again I guess we have to specify), know little more than how to how to
hit
the end of a leash and show their teeth. Maybe you can get away with
that
in some of the other organizations and venues that I am not familiar
with,
truthfully, I have no idea.

I totally agree, if we allow white shepherds to show in all performance
venues then they deserve the win. I guess I don't understand why they are
DQ
in conformation but can enter in all performance class but if a white
wins
a high title then the whole white gsd becomes an issue. Like Amy said its
performance. Your more then willing to take their entries and money but
it
is an issue if they win? Sorry doesn't make sense to me.

Come on people.......so she is white.....she is a GERMAN SHEPHERD. Her
owner
worked very hard to get her to the level that she competed in and did
well
enough to become the Obedience Victrix. They are not judged on color or
conformation.......they are judged solely on how they go through the
different exercises needed to score high. Obedience is not
easy......especially at the higher level. I put a CD myself on my first
Ch.Elway........it was not easy.....but we did it. Give it a rest and
worry
about something that you can do something about.......HUGE CONGRATS TO
RON
AND HIS WHITE OBEDIENCE VICTRIX.........me thinks it is time to set
vacation
or go to digest!!!!
