Sorry, that should have said at Westmininster.
Markobytes, when you take a dog to a show, you are asking for a critique, first of all from a judge. Please, do you not think everyone there saw him unstacked and had opinions on him? Come on.
A competitor said to me she didn't like the dog, GASP, throw her in jail.
My dog is a LSC, and can only be shown in the RARE breeds class, yah, I'm going to change a lot.
You guys are being ridiculous.

The majority of them look cow hocked and down on their pasterns to me.

And Red Sable what a poor excuse to not show your dog. There are SV coat classes, UKC will put up a coated dog and I just said earlier the GSDCA is having two classes at the Nationals and I am sure that's only the beginning.
Also I don't care if King Tut didn't like the dog. I guess that makes it OK for you to take an unflattering picture of the dog, come on here and bash it and say you were ashamed of the breed after you saw them in the ring.
Then you come on here after being gone for 2 days and starting all this stuff and saying how funny we all here. Sorry I must be a real bitch today cause I fail to see the humor.
So go ahead and have your little laughs, bash the dogs and make excuses for not doing anything with your dogs.
Myself I am going to keep an open mind, look at things objectively, keep showing and working my dogs as I can because I am physically disabled, and believe there is enough of us who truly love the breed and care about it's future and have like thinking. Some who know the difference between A and Z and who hav e RESPECT for others and their differences.

If you read the start of my original post I said I am having mixed feelings, I can see the merit in what you have posted. I am however concerned with the potential abuses of a post like this. Even though the dog was brought to a judge for a critique and those that knew what they are looking for can see the dog who else at the show thought to take pictures of the dog then put them on an international database? There are probably a lot of people that have no problem with this. You are probably correct when you state that the owners are not as thin skinned and don't care what we post. Not everyone is going to appreciate this kind of treatment in the future. This thread did have some good input. I have to be honest in writing that your posts that I have seen are usually not this in depth, they usually sound like pointless name calling. You have handled yourself well in your replys.
My statement to show was a general one as I do think well constructed working lines have as good or perhaps a better chance in an AKC ring than do a lot of WGSLs. I did not mean it as a crack against you or your dogs. I am also curious as to what you saw of the competition there, were there any dogs that you thought were better than the one you posted pictures of?

I never have, and probably never will understand posts like this thread. I don't think I could force myself to post a photo of a dog just to ridicule it him/her.

GSDadmin, we don't seem to agree on much lately, but I do agree with this statement.

I do not agree that AKC show entries are down because of more shows/clubs. 25 years ago there were 80-100 GSD at the AKC shows in my area, today there are 5-6. Very few new people are getting involved while as Gustav said, the popularity of Sch. and the German dog is steadily growing.
jmo,
Rik
