I agree with you Chris.
I'll also add, and maybe it's because I started in OB where we had a stand
for exam and a moving stand...that it's easier to train and "proof" a dog
than it is to be able to count on what will happen in a ring, ob OR breed.
I can't worry about how a judge approaches or thumps or wants to check
tonsils or stalks. I've had judges (2) fall on dogs. I take puppies outside
of an indoor where people are smoking to get them used to smoke. (Dog's,
if they have never been exposed, HATE cigarette smoke). Ditto strong
perfume. I get up way too early in the AM on show days to leave such things
to
chance.
I go back to having the dogs live underfoot and not warehoused in kennel
runs. Sound dogs that live underfoot are bomb proof.

The approach of a judge is very important, most Shepherds do not like a

I've seen this time and time again, not just in a judging situation but in
just every day circumstance. They pull back or slightly duck their head,
which can give the appearance of unsoundness, which is not necessarily the
case at all.
