That was my meaning. Not that one of you personally could show a dead cat. I would think that you of all people would walk in with the closes to perfect, but if a dyed dog wins over yours what does that say to you? Should the mother clubs not be working on this issue? Are they? |
I find it very disturbing that some judge's never look what is at the end of the lead and continually put u[ handlers, because of who they are. I've always wondered "if" ethics has fallen by the way side with handlers. Or if egos have gotten in the way and they do take such dogs in the ring just to prove a point.
One can only be responsible for one's own breeding program and only take the best of the best into the ring. If we don't then we are only fooling ourselves and short changing our breeding program. It is defeating the purpose of showing; to obtain approval of our breeding stock. We all know there is no perfect dog, but I was taught, if you see 3 faults in a dog, don't show it, the judge will find more. So, it's the 3 strikes your out.
