When my friends asked me if it was okay to show under me, I told them... '  You 
may be my Blue-Ribbon Friend, but that doesn't mean that I necessarily consider 
your Dog a  ' Blue-Ribbon  Winner'...if you can deal with that, then  show 
under me, if you can't, keep your dog   home... Barb Williams

  Gee, if you  have been in the breed as long as I have you "know" almost all 
  the specialty judges and breeders.  I have put up animals owned by folks I 
  know very well--why?---for one thing they know the type animal I like.  I 
  should not put them up because I know them??  On the other hand I do not put 
  them up BECAUSE I know them.  Sandi Card

  Ha, Right!
     
     I have my own clients and there's enough business in this industry there 
is no need for one handler to seek out another handler's clients.
     
    Thankfully, my client keeps me supplied in shepherds--class animals and 
specials. Recently, I have taken over the breeding aspect for them as well. 
     
    Now, that doesn't mean that I can't notice a good one and ask the million 
dollar question... "is this puppy for sale???"

  Randy, I may be wrong, but I think Alycia was asking if we (generic we or I) 
  would ENTER under a judge who owned the stud of the dog entered.   I would 
not 
  enter a dog under a judge who owned the stud of my dog, but I know it's done 
  and I don't believe an ethical judge would give any more weight to that dog 
  than any other.   IMO

  Subject: Re: A question for and about judges

  Here is something to chew on. I approach this as a horse show judge too!.
     
    In dog shows, a judge is only going to make 3-4 people happy on that given 
day..
    Winners Dog
    Winners Bitch
    Best of Breed
    Best Puppy...
     
    In an entry of 60, thats about 56 people that will have an opinion some way 
or the other.. So, in short, why worry? Hell, do what you want to and be damned 
with the rest.
     
    In horse shows, my friends always ask, "is it ok to show to you?" I 
said,"Sure, by all means, Im still gonna be honest and you damn well better 
bring me what I like and it better perform. Im going to be harder on you 
because you know better than the person who doesnt know me!"
     
    My friend brought a certain horse to me that I discovered in another barn, 
she rode her tail off in about 6 classes and won all 6 and for the championship 
she took it home. In my opinion, it was because it was the best horse in the 
class, my friend just happened to ride him. Now, ringside said, "Well, the only 
reason why he put up that horse is because Fran Cole owns it..."
     
    No, the only reason why Fran Cole won the class is because it was the best 
horse. She got the gate with her black mare in 4 classes before she realized I 
didnt like her. I still went to her barn after show party and we are still 
friends to this day. But she shows me what I like and when its done, if shes 
the best horse, she does well.
     
    On another note. I have mortal enemies that I have given championship wins 
to and blues. I dont care if Satan himself was sitting in the saddle, he had 
the best horse, he or she (which will remain nameless) was winning the class.. 
Period. 
     
    You gotta look at it this way, ringside is gonna talk regardless. Youre a 
dumb crook if you do put up your friends with a good dog, and youre an arse if 
you didnt put up your friends with a mediocre dog.. so just cut your losses, do 
what you wanna do because when it is all said and done, the one handing out the 
ribbons has to be able to face him/herself in the morning.. and thats all that 
really matters.

  Subject: Re: A question for and about judges

  I think this is a very interesting conversation.  Does one enter a dog/bitch
  under the stud dog owner,( or breeder of the sire) and worry about
  perception/appearance...or if in not entering would "you" risk offending the
  stud dog owner /judge? Could such a decision to entry a progeny under a
  given stud's owner, backfire?
    It is not against AKC rules.   However, if the said  progeny were put up
  by the judge, and was clearly the best dog or bitch on the day...then what
  fallout could the judge or owner of the entry face from others? None , I
  would hope.
     I think it has to be left up to the individual judges , as to how they
  would handle it.   Judges that have owned/bred popular stud dogs, might well
  lose a substantial part of their entries , if they ruled out progeny.   Just
  a thought.  A complicated question with no clear answers.  Whatever happens,
  it shouid be the best dog/ bitch at that time....regardless of who owns the
  stud dog.

  I am quite sure the graphic's won't come through, but hopefully the message 
will.
   The message that follows is for a Happy New Year
  And I can only think of one other thing to add.....May the New Year bring 
each of you success, happiness and fulfillment in all of your "GSD" related 
activates.
  HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL, both canine and human.

  Beryl Eshom
  Arelee GSD
  Davis, CA.




  New Year's Wishes 
   


    May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, 
your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, 
your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S. 



    May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not 
fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your 
white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise. 

    May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your 
beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the 
environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more 
fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night. 



    May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you 
delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to 
your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues. 

    May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish 
dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been 
watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include 
generous amounts for charity. 



    May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, 
your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, 
your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor. 

    And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in 
every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every 
lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
