There are many working/herding dogs that need a larger ring. The GSD is
one
of many. However, many of the sup'ts/ Show Chmn do not reliquish the space
because they "say" that we race our dogs around and many large, "moving"
dogs
don't do that and can handle the smaller ring. Not saying they are right
or
wrong. Just heard what I heard when asking for a larger ring. And then,
get a larger ring, and the handlers "cut" it and the stewards/judges make
comments about THAT! There needs to be a quid pro quo here. (Or whatever
I'm
trying to say LOL)

I wonder.....
I know that obedience rules require rings to be a certain size.
How about legislating thru AKC for an approved ring size for our breed?
What do you think, what would it take? I find it frustrating whenever we do
manage to get a big ring and you see the handlers cutting. I love it when
the judges remind them to "take them all around, and use the whole ring,
please". I pay attention to those judges.
They are usually the ones that ask for a loose lead and mean it.
