Tari, of course we want good temperament, but I can't say we want it "more"  
than other breeds want it.  Breeds that have a job to do, herding, hunting,  
working etc., all value good temperament.  I'm on the same page w/ Vicki on  
this one.  By us making such a deal of it, we look silly to people who know  
dogs (who realize by the time a dog gets to a group ring, they're trained for  
anything and they aren't seeing a true picture anyway), and to John Q public in 
 
general who figures if we're making such a big deal, there must be a  problem.
 
Other breeds don't do it, but if you look closely, they aren't rewarded for  
bad temperament either.  (Well, of course, you never know what a judge will  
do <G>, let's say they aren't rewarded w/ greater frequency than they are  in 
the GSD ring, test and all).
