Also Randy, and you are right, shelties, and other breeds, some, are MUCH easier to get "truckloads" of to shows...we can carry a max of 4 or 5, but that is about it...prefer not to, if we can avoid it, lol. Size is limiting , by itself. Also as long as GSDs are allowed to race around the ring, it limits many and their ability to show their own dogs.
