Boy you hit the nail on the head there. We get calls all the time to build a major for John So and so....and someone that is NOT a GSD person...but then when we get great judges, that ARE GSD people as what happened with the supposed "supported " entry of Santa Ana by Orange Coast GSDC .....where were they???? I saw OC members with dogs on site but not entered. I saw other people that enter majors on site, WITH dogs, but NOT entered. I had to wonder about people we know that "pimp" for majors under judges that we know nothing of...but then get a KNOWLEDGEBLE, EXPERIENCED GSD PERSON AS A JUDGE???? I am very disappointed in the local cadre, for the NON support of the "supported" entry. These are some of the same people that will complain that "we can't get good judges" But Santa Ana was a lovely show, with two TERRIFIC JUDGES and great dogs and exhibitors....for those that didn't bother to support it, too bad, you missed out on a great time and a nice venue. And in the lack of support, just helped to make it MORE difficult to get GSD people out here to judge...nice going. grrrrrrrrrrr Kathy Tank _www.Victory_ (http:www.Victory) germanshepherds.com We are what we repeatedly do, Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.-Aristotle Victory...There's Something in a Name ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
