I have to say I agree with you Carolyn...Would much prefer to curl up on a couch or in bed & leisurely enjoy my Review.. Hate having to sit in front of a computer hunting for results and developing carpal tunnel, or getting booted, etc. ........also kills these poor old eyes and my back ..... :) Flo Boese Bo-Hem Shepherds In a message dated 3/15/2011 1:23:15 P.M.

We'd rather sit by the fire together or with friends with Reviews around us and talk dogs and lines and shows and judges or whatever. You can never replace that with the Internet!! Sure....you can search and research and find more detailed information if you want....but interaction with the stud owner....other breeders....enthusiasts......litter owners ...show results or whatever...is by far the better way to get your answers and information and have input. I believe Carolyn McKenna has a good and valid point along the same lines. I'm sure judges love going over the Magazines with other judges expressing opinions and talking about some of the animals advertised and how they themselves percieved them.......the magazines in front of them or the Review in front of us is a big part of what starts the interaction and discussion. You can't get that sitting by yourself in front of a computer. The Review is irreplaceable..........IMO.
