Have to agree with Jackie on this one. I would love to breed Champions, conformation....Obedience...etc. Any would be worthy, yes this is a conformation list, but I should hope that you don't dismiss other titles. I don't think the question was out of line or degrading in anyway. ===================== From: MarcatoGSD@xxxxxxx Date: Thu Apr 06 16:05:49 CDT 2006 To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: why champions I think that's a bit unfair. It was an honest, legitimate, and VALID question. Yes, this is a conformation list, and yes we all strive for champions, but why not champions in other venues? Herding champions, OTCH dogs, MACHs? Somebody needs to get a life? That's a bit harsh. I didn't think that question was out of line or uncalled for, and I don't think the "tone" was at all nasty or condescending. - Jackie In a message dated 4/6/2006 4:02:47 PM Central Daylight Time, RChesnut70502@xxxxxxx writes: It never ceases to amaze me how some will question the validity of our sport.
