I am one of "several specialty GSD judges" who does not accept " indoor" All Breed assignments. I judge because I really enjoy judging and seeing our dogs and their gait. I am unable to see such movement indoor on the mats. I envy the judges who can see and evaluate gait indoors. For me to try and do so would not be enjoyable and thus defeats the reason I attempt to judge GSDs. D.D. P.S. I did the Monroe, LA shows several years ago (indoors) and was amazed at the difference between preformance indoors and performance outdoors. This was noted on several animals that I saw later at outdoor specialty shows. ----- Original Message ----- From: <caggra@xxxxxxx> To: <hckryhillgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <amidon@xxxxxxxxx>; <cudjoegsd@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 8:05 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: interesting > That and there are still several Specialty GSD judges who refuse to accept All Breed assignments. > Jeff > > > -----Original Message----- > From: hckryhillgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: amidon@xxxxxxxxx; cudjoegsd@xxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 9:00 AM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: interesting > > > I assume you are "supposed" to..but often you judge what you look at > everyday.
