Yes..and there are champions of the heart..and champions of the ring. Every dog may be loved by someone..but some need to be lying by the fireplace..or playing ball with the kids..not in the show ring. Although you may think it a noble endeavor...supporting every dog..good or bad..sound or unsound is sending the wrong message. Now your opinion may be different than mine as to who the better dog is..that is fine..you may lend your support to a dog that I would not clap for..that is fine..but lending your support to every dog...just to make everyone feel included is letting your emotions govern what is best for the breed. As DD and Lee have stated..clapping for a spook..is counter productive..as a spook is an embarrassment to our breed.as well as a poor specimen of the breed. Clapping to me is an endorsement..for the dog..not the owners...I don't and won't endorse spooks or poor specimens of the breed...just to make someone 'feel good."
