Maybe the Canadians are SMARTER than the AMERICANS. You can not legislate MORALITY, never have been able to and never will. There are always ways around the rules and GOOD PEOPLE are GOOD PEOPLE,there will always be conflicts as long as there SHOWS, BREEDERS, HANDLERS and JUDGES. I sure wouldn't want a Judge who has never been a BREEDER. And as much as I would love to see only Breeder/owner handlers, I am not certain that with YOU TUBE, anyone would volunteer to show their own dogs (but there can be great money made by allowing people to laugh their butts off while you are being drug around by a dog or trampled by sheep) The 4 month rule is simply unenforceable. and in my opinion stupid. If a JUDGE is going to SELECT a dog/bitch due to personal friendships, ownerships - noone can stop it. If a JUDGE is HONEST, then he will always pick the BEST DOG/BITCH (at least in his/her opinion) Morgan and His Angels Precious, OFA Princess, CGC, TDI, GSDCA Health Award "RAW" fed, No Vaccinations --- On Sat, 9/5/09, Joan Fox <campaignersgsd@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Joan Fox <campaignersgsd@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: handling for a judge To: pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx, ELG440@xxxxxxx, dan-ann@xxxxxxxx Cc: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, September 5, 2009, 12:07 PM Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have noticed allot of dogs going to Can.

People sign off dogs and co-ownerships - show the dog and then when no one is paying any attention at a later date sign back on.
