No, I don't think he's the same fella.  Joan sent me a couple of paragraphs 
from his article, and the first one was very complimentary....he loved the 
size of the ring and the white wall...and he said that the allbreed rings 
were too small for our breed...and did it a disservice.

The paragraph that had the comments that were told to me did have to do with 
doubling...but depending on how you read them, could still be complimentary, 
because he said our silly doubling was more or less insulting to our dogs, 
because we made them fools.  I'm paraphrasing...but in the end, he was 
right, I think, about much of what he said.
   The reason I asked if anyone had read it was (and this is the third or 
fourth time I'm saying this part) because I haven't read it yet, and the 
things told to me were not complimentary....now I see they were taken 
somewhat out of context.
    Now, I wish you'd got the name of the guy who liked the German dogs...
