Is it really about honesty and integrity? Or just being realistic in that we are influenced by situations. I personally have ZERO issues with judges/handlers/breeders all breeding, showing, and exhibiting at the same time. If you dont like it, dont enter under the judge, dont hire that handler, or dont buy that breeders dog. Each of us knows our limits and influences though... and aknowledging that the average human IS IN FACT influenced by situations, has nothing to do with their integrity or honesty. Its just aknowledging reality. For Fred to make this decision for himself, is admirable! Each person is different in how they handle it. That's what makes showing fun. So many variables, so little control.... BUT SO MUCH EXCITEMENT WHEN YOU WIN!!! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Sean P Bragg Reglor GSD's Columbus, Ohio "Cagney" Ch.
