And there boys and girls is why we are loosing entries in the specialty ring. Maybe, just maybe, we aren't so special after all. Terry From: "SoilentGrn@xxxxxxx" <SoilentGrn@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 4:24 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] why don't they advertise The last time I advertised in the Review it was a two page color ad with full pedigree of an at that time AKC Champion who had a Herding Started title. She did go on to get her AKC Herding Advanced title and a Champion in a different conformation venue. All by the age of six. (She got her Intermediate title one month after she finished her AKC conformation champion and had numerous titles from other herding venues.) I have no intention of getting into the specialty vs all breed fight. But I chose the all breeds for the reason that the emphasis in all breeds is more generally compatible with the other things I do with dogs. The Review welcomes all ads, the Board welcomes all ads. But honestly, when I hear people on these lists go on and on about the superiority of the specialty dog why should I bother? I finally said, have it your way, you win, I will take my marbles elsewhere. I have been around for a long time, imagine what new people say.
