Thank you all for reading what I feel I had to say. We all know who 'the handler' that is involved with getting Dallas to Hunte. He can finish a 3 legged fish in the Shepherd ring. But I have seen him loose too. No one person should ever be given this much power in our breed again. All breed judges seem to put up this handler out of fear of never having a decent entry again. We should do our best to give balanced power to everyone who is concerned with the health, welfare, and future of our breed. No matter how big or small their kennel, each dog should be judged, never the handler, and each breeder should re-read the standard before looking at his/her own litters. I made a point of looking at the Standard prior to the whelping of my litter. I welcome the opinions of others about my puppies, as soon as they can be seen. But the opinion I care most about it how they compare to the Standard. And if they never earn points or finish, but they meet the standard, I will be glad for my efforts. One of the signatures here is about doing the right thing, even when it is not popular. What is right is right.
