I agree with Kathy. I think more dogs "get away" with poor temperaments
at the specialties than the all-breeds. Most all breed judges, even
those that don't do the temp. test, are rather unforgiving of poor
temperament in any breed.
It depends on whether the judge (in either venue) is just doing the
test as the PC wants it done, whether the judge is a stalker, approaches
expecting, and maybe provoking, a bad temperament or some kind of spook,
etc.
No, it isn't necessary to hug and love up a dog in the ring, unless
it's your own dog...
As for whether we should continue the test, that's always
going to be a matter of opinion...I do know that some of the other,
tough type breeds wouldn't mind having some kind of test that resembles
that of the GSDCA...at least that's what people have told me.
