Tell you what...breed healthy, correct, beautiful dogs that you can take anywhere, anytime for admiring hands to touch. You'll be promoting the breed.

You talk about the all breed ring as a separate entity; it is NOT. I can't tell you the number of times I've been approached by shepherd people and OTHER fanciers who congratulate me for the wins or just to tell me that they like my dog! More breeders and a lot more spectators see our dogs at all breed shows. If that doesn't promote the breed, I don't know what does! Penny in NC **************************************************************************** ********************************************** And I am kind of lost by showing your dog at an all breed ring, how does that help promote the ring? It helps the AKC make money, but how does it promote the breed compared to a specialty? Does it have specialties for the gs, does AKC have other venues for strictly the GS? NO!! So tell me how does it promote the breed? John Garnett ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
