Adi,

I saw that exact same clip yesterday and stared in disbelief.

The double handling made it look like a complete farce, I genuinely had to go back and make sure I had clicked on 'Seiger Show' and not some club level conformation event. Dogs running up each other's tails, it reminded me of schooling ring chaos for a horse show.

If I want to see a GSD showing a good, well formed, working 'gait' I'd rather seem him/her working a herd of sheep than running around the ring like a toy breed.

Because the bite work is what is constantly complained about in the SS. How utterly stupid. That is NOT what the GSD is all about. Why reduce such a magnificant dog to something so insignificant as "biting a sleeve" -- oh, I forgot -- Entertainment !

"The double handling made it look like a complete farce"

Ugh. Agreed. All those people screaming and squeaking, and look at the dogs - they're not responding!! Look at their heads and ears, do you see any of the dogs in that clip "alerting" to the squeaks and screams?

Maggie,

When is your next litter of Pet Rocks due?

Be careful you are starting to look like a liar as it is starting to appear you know more than your little act has ever let on.

When you breed that next litter let us know.

Bye bye little man

Tracker/Tess -- Yes, the double handling looked ridiculous and "circus-like" -- very distracting and takes away from the dogs.

by Sock Puppet on 11 June 2010 - 15:06

Just like you very distracting and you take so much away from the dogs.

Like I said when you breed that next litter of lawn ornaments let us know.

bye bye little breeder

Yes, I don't even know why I was running around the ring in my class, I have never seen such a cluster in my life, my parents were laughing so hard when they saw all those people with squeaky toys or worse yet water dishes. If your dog cant respond to your voice get out of the ring, it is especially sad to see that you have to motivate your dog by tricking it into thinking your going to give it a necessity of life.

Miles -- Remember the Procedures/Routines aren't the Dogs' fault. As usual, the humans "screw it up."

I know that the dogs dont need idiots to run in front of them they are capable of doing that themselves. I guess I can see running in front of puppies but I sure felt stupid running in that group, all I could think was man I would much rather be watching my dog gait then running in front of him for no reason. lol I think it is dumb to have that many dogs running at the same time it is impossible for the judge to see what he needs to see in all that comotion

Maggie:

The working criteria has been destroyed to allow the weaker dogs(ie show lines) to be surveyed and KK the trail criteria has been so dumbed down that there is no real pressure allowed to be put on the dog to get a real evaluation. It,s all because it is now a sport.

It,s up to the breeders and trainers to make sure that the dog is properly bred and trained for the work. I,ve yet to see a good German shepherd stop a man by GATTING him into submission!.

When Max speaks of the dog being ready for war just how many flyin trots do you think it takes to stop a enemy combatant?
