Color Enhancing in our breed has become totally out of control in some areas of the country and with several prominent handlers. And it is totally "unfair" to the other exhibitors and it is basically cheating. It makes the Enhanced animals look like they have much more breed type when indeed if left UNEHANCED they may have less breed type. THE FAVORITE COLOR BY THE WAY IS BLACK AND RED!!! Certain stud dogs can be bred to any poor pigmented bitch and his offsprng will be black and red...guaranteed, lol. I would like to see this addressed some sort of way. Maybe the new board can address this issue. It will take ??? because some of our top exhibitors are doing it and they must be dealt with and that will take some courage from someone. BUT IT IS 100% UNFAIR FOR THE OTHER EXHIBITORS PLAYING THE GAME HONESTLY AND SPENDING THERE HARD EARNED MONEY TO COMPETE ON AN UN-LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
