  I got an International Championship Our German dog because I thought he was 
too German looking to take to the Am. shows and finish easily. I just Love him 
and couldn't stand to see him lose. I really enjoyed those shows and the idea 
of a written critique. The problem those shows is they give IC cards to too 
many unworthy dogs. If they toughened their standards those shows would really 
take off. Jim

    There are not many folks in this sport that I respect more than Syd...but I 
    disagree with her on the point of International Championships being 
    worthless...I know nothing about that venue...its not my interest at this 
    time...but I strongly believe that anything you do with your dog that you 
    enjoy and hopefully your dog does too is worthwhile!...I'd rather have an 
    Int'Ch that I campaigned myself than an AKC CH that never lived with 
    me...traveled with some handler 10 months out of the year and I never got 
to 
    see the dog..I am not faulting this , but I don't see the interaction of 
    owner/dog...I want to look into this Rally stuff too...all my dogs are 
    CHAMPIONS in my mind...because they belong to me...dogs do not give a damn 
    about titles and legs on obedience, all that stuff is human ego.....no 
title 
    is worthless If you enjoy doing it with your dog.....Ed Hill
