Well Everyone and Norma I can sum it all up in 2 words GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP that's why!! Our entries are getting so small and almost no majors at all in NE this past Summer and Fall. That is pretty sad for our great breed. Until we all start supporting each other, there will not be any majors. I would like to leave everyone with a story to think about. My friends and neighbors a young couple with their very first show dog a Siberian Husky attended their first dog show in Springfield, MA, weekend. Their breeder was not there, so they went in alone and were owner handling. I was able to go over to them and say a quick Hi, see you when GSD's are over. When GSD's were over I went to welcome them to our awesome sport. I was so impressed when they told me this story. They were standing ringside with their puppy looking new, a Siberian exhibitor noticed them and went over and introduced herself, shook there hands, welcomed them, and said please come over and join us we will give you a hand!!! .....
