Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] .. the little secret... unsound temperament




Most of the posts regarding temperament are all pretty much  
right ON... 
..from spooks to the real meaning of 'aloof'..to handling stress. 
 
But MORE than even politics is the real 'root' of the problem.   
We have become SO DEPENDENT upon the handlers to handle it for  
us...and Judges have become SO DEPENDENT upon HOW a dog shows  
rather than really judging them according to the Standard that 
we are losing our own 'THE German Shepherd Dog' Breed. 
It really is too bad. 
How can we be concerned about good temperament, good feet, strong 
athletic co-ordination, incorrect ribbing, etc....  
when all that REALLY seems to matter is how the dog performs. 
AND of course the ONLY THING so many seem to identify a great  
dog with......front extension.   TO heck with a sound dog....<G> 
As long as a dog or even a puppy "FLIES"  around the ring so that 
it APPEARS they have a good front and their rear drops so that it 
APPEARS they have good rear drive......the details of the Standard 
do not seem to matter to so many.    
It really is our own LOSS! 
Don't get me wrong...I LOVE a great front...along with a powerful 
rear drive hard topline and a great performance... 
BUT when performance is ALL that matters...then we owe our souls to 
"doggie camps"...handlers....and our own illusions!!     
Really too bad.....

its called politics and lies in the hands of the judges.  Doing a friend a 
favor by putting their dog up whether it's temperament was not up to par or 
that its quality was less then what was in the class but still manage to 
win.  The judging on quality is harder to determine because you can say that 
it was the judges opinion for the day.  But temperament is pretty much there 
for everyone to see.  So the judges who play politics don't show under them 
and when their not pulling entries they may wake up, who knows. 
Your right Janet the newbies that come into the breed and see this turn 
around and walk away.

All I AM GOING TO SAY IS OVER THE PAST YEAR THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF 
CONVERSATION  
BOUT DECLINING ENTRIES, CLUBS GOING UNDER AND APPEARANCE OF JUDGES NOT 
JUDGING  
OGS BUT DOING FAVORS FOR FRIENDS. I'M NOT SAYING ANY OF THIS IS TRUE BUT I 
AM  
AYING SOMETIMES WHAT APPEARS TO BE TRUE CAUSES PEOPLE TO GIVE UP. WHEN DOGS  
AVE TO BE HELD UP TO BE EXAMINED AND CLEARLY ARE NOT SHOWING SOUND 
TEMPERMENT  
HEN WHY AWARD THEM BREED OR EVEN RESERVES...IT MIGHT JUST BE A FLOOK THAT 
THEY  
EHAVE THAT DAY AND IN THAT MANNER.......OK I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT THEN AWARD  
HEM ANOTHER DAY. ENTRIES GO DOWN BECAUSE EVERYONE WORKS HARD TO BE ABLE TO 
PAY  
OR ENTRIES, HIRE HANDLERS AND GO TO SHOWS AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS .....WELL  
?????��� WHEN MOST PEOPLE LEAVE A SHOW SAYING WHAT A JOKE THE 
SHOW WAS 
AND THAT  
ILL NEVER ENTER THAT AGAIN AND THEY ARE TRUELY ALL VERY UPSET, THEN IT ISN'T 
 
UST� SOMEONE UPSET..IT WHY WE HAVE LOW ENTRIES....JMHO
