Very well said I totally agree I would not hesitate to put up a long coat if it was the best dog there Peg -----Original Message----- From: Destinogs1 <destinogs1@xxxxxxx> To: oakridgegsd <oakridgegsd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, Jun 29, 2012 4:47 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Who is Going to Show a Longcoat? I'm sorry that you have been ignored at the specialty shows due to your dog eing a long coat. Maybe the judges need to read our standard again. I ersonally do not own a long coat, at this time, but would consider showing it f it possessed all of the other qualities that I feel are important. My first hampion's mother was a long coat and an ROM. My feeling is that the best verall dog should win the points. I would take a long coat any day over issing teeth, bad going away, or poor temperament. A fault is just a fault, ow you weigh that fault is what is important. I've yet to meet the perfect og.

I have had nderful compliments from both judges and people ringside, but never even ceived a reserve. The reality is we put up dogs who are terribly dirty in the ar or who can barely be examined due to temperament problems and ignore a at. I feel an obligation to show since I asked for the class, though I havenâ??t de that decision as yet. People wonder why we donâ??t have enough entries in ecialties...The snipey comments from some on this list certainly make me want enter the all breed shows, rather than continue to support the specialty ows. I mistakenly thought that people who love the breed could see a quality imal in spite of the coat, and truly, I believe those people exist, but some the comments on the list disgust me as if this is some kind of joke. rrie rom: Carolyn Martello nt: Friday, June 29, 2012 10:54 AM : oakridgegsd@xxxxxxxxxxxx ; edangsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; The List bject: Re: Who is Going to Show a Longcoat? can only assume this is meant 'tongue in cheek'......as I just cannot imagine nyone anging their breeding program just to exhibit in a fault class........?? > arolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx w.Marhaven.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie & Oak Smith To: edangsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; The List Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 7:23 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Who is Going to Show a Longcoat?
