It is the hardest part I am having in the show arena. To watch poor representations of the breed, and in my opinion, poor pet quality dogs winning not just single points but majors to complete their championship is wrong. Learning about the "politics" is the harshest an worst to swallow for me. It turned me away 20 years ago and still I have a hard time seeing it. But I know when I finally finish my dogs, they will have truly earned it.
Jeanie sorry to hijack your thread.....was hoping that helped with the shine and reflection of light... |
Well you cant do anything about exhibiters that are showing and breeding dogs that dont meet the standard but you can know that when you show or breed a dog it is a good example of the breed and know you are striving to show the best. Im not familiar with the show ring and the politics but I do know what kind of breeder or exhibiter is appreciated on here amongst people that care about the breed and want the best for it
