Frankly I wonder why I came back. But I just love shows and show dogs and show
people, whether or not they want to be nice. I know I am not loved by every
single person who meets me, nor do I expect to be. But I have to say that I
love being with people who don't like me, at shows, as much as people who do
like me. It is just where my heart is.
No show dogs, but I am still on this list and still thinking about shows.
Don't really expect to have any more show dogs, so I guess I will one day be
one of the elderly women who run shows and complain about everything that goes
wrong at every show.

Perhaps that would also be a good question. I certainly didn't stay all
these many years because someone was always telling me how great I was or
how great my dogs were. I well remember my very first "pure-bred" German
Shepherd Dog and I showed her at a local Sacramento show. Parker Smith, a
judge and member of our club told me I went 4th in a large class because I
handled my dog well. He said, "she is very well balanced. Nothing on
either end".

Wow, this is NOT right IMHO -- #1 Did the same handler take the dog into
the AB ring as the Specialty one?
#2 Try to educate this thoughtful owner of certain "personal preferances
like in anything else" that this questionable
judge may have ----- #3 Everything we've been chatting about for -- even
legislation, shelters, etc. etc. all seems
to go back to the one thing that is lacking in so many instances ---
"education of the human involved" Why would
the opinion of just 1 judge be so important --- also, an explanation for the
reason for - withholding a ribbon should
be the NORM!! Looks like this judge needs a second look for all and sundry.

A new to showing GSD person, not new to GSDs, recently bought a lovely pup,
showed her in the Lake Elmo specialty, hired a well known handler who also
liked the pup and ended up placing 2nd out of 6 in one of the puppy classes.
Sounds good right? Well I just got a phone call saying that the pup was
just shown at an all-breed show today and didn't exactly have the same
success. The puppy was the only one in the class and came out with a second
place ribbon. First of all I didn't even know that was possible. I thought
the ribbon was withheld if the dog wasn't worthy. The judge informed this
woman that this animal was not of the quality to deserve being in his ring.
Also she was told to never breed this bitch. Now, besides the outrageous
lack of consistency in the two rings, why would someone new ever want to
come back after being spoken to that way... I was at a loss for words after
this phone call... I didn't know what to tell her...
