Jimmy doesn't need crowd support to win with his animals.  He's kind of in a
class by himself.  He influences judges simply by showing up with an animal in
a dog show ring. And, if you don't think that is true, think about whether
anyone else could have compiled the winning records on the shepherds Jimmy has
shown over the years.
