I recently went thru this in another breed that I was acquiring. I was the
newbie this time I was the outsider and let me tell you there were no fuzzy,
warm friendliness. There was one that explaind things etc. but she sort of
already new who I was. My experience made me stop and reflect on how I
interact with newbies at the shows. I try to be friendly and if I have to
abruptly leave to groom or my dog is going in the ring i try to apologize and
let them know. I am not saying I am perfect at this but my experience with the
other breed has really made me aware and to be more responsible for my demeanor
with newbies at shows.
It all goes back to "incourage, not discourage" trust me it does make a
difference.

Evan, of course you enjoy. I wonder what it was like the first time you went.
ere people that friendly to you?
As a newbie and I had only one dog to show and put him with a well known
andler for reasons that I couldn't possibly run and show him, i was ignored
ompletely by some clubs and welcomed by others. It seems to depend on the
embers of said club. I will say that Georgia was the greatest. I don't see
he bad picture some have painted but I do see problems and I see where a few
ould like to run everything their way. But that is nothing new in any sport
tc. I showed in both specialty and all breed and have to agree that all breed
eople were friendlier but then we have to remember, other breed owners are not
ompetition so why wouldn't they be? In any sport, there is some degree of
ompetitiveness and some just can't handle someone else having a dog better than
heirs.
I agree that shows should be fun but also isn't the reason for showing
onformation supposed to be to get these breeding stock out there to see and be
valuated for future generations of the GSD? If this is the case, then these
ame dogs should have above reproach temperament and health as well as
thleticism and be prepotent.
do think the economy has hurt but it has hurt a lot of recreational activity.
ho can afford a boat anymore and pay for the slip etc. I know now I can
fford neither the shows or other sports. But I am too old anyway so i can enjoy
atching others enjoy and cheer them on.
nne, GA
