That is exactly what I do, I vote for the venue I participate in.? I don't do obedience or agility etc., so I don't vote for their judges because I don't have a clue and it wouldn't be fair to just check off some judge for the heck of it.? I feel the obedience, agility?etc. people should do the same if they are not interested in conformation at this point.? -----Original Message----- From: jonah.gsd@xxxxxxxxxxx To: irrenhaus4@xxxxxxxxxxx; lfossland@xxxxxxx; showlist <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Doris E <irrenhaus4@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 9:21 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: disappointment I agree with Doris. I've been saying this for years! I only vote for conformation because that's what I participate in. I don't know obedience, rally or hearding judges etc., therefore, I do not vote for those. Maybe we could suggest, nicely, that all members do the same?
