While I usually agree with Laurie, I find this dumbing down  our sport. Now 
we shouldn't cheer for the dogs we like, because someone might  not cheer for 
someone else's?  This is what political correctness is all  about.  If you have 
a super dog, and no one knows who you are, you are  going to hear applause 
and cheers.  If you have an awful dog and lots of  friends you might just hear 
some cheers too.  But, no one should tell us  not to react if we like the dogs.
 
Don't worry about who you are going to influence, or who you  like or don't 
like. If it more fun to you to cheer, or to remain silent, go for  it.  Conduct 
yourself at the shows in whatever manner will help you to  enjoy them, and 
try not to hurt anyone's feelings. But, react how you want to,  the shows are 
for us all.
 
As a judge, I do have to say, I seldom notice what the crowd  is doing 
outside the ring, unless I see them getting a rope and making a  noose.  That I 
notice.
