Results for Sieger Show in San Jose? - Page 8

Interesting that my post in response to Wander's "dismissed" charge has disappeared.  So,  I will state again:

The other dogs were not being "dismissed'      I know Ule is not "typical" of show lines dogs, as she trials  fairly often in GSSCC and USA trials where all and sundry can see the work.  She is the only one of the lot that went beyond the Sch 3 to also earn a Fh ( and if recollection serves, that was with a "V" score).  The fact is that several declared when no one has EVER seen them trial in a USA event and they probably NEVER will do so.  Several of the declared dogs are totally out of the running for Universal Sieger  by any stretch of the imagination: Yasso was listed as "ins" on the Univeral Sieger page (which is presumably accurate on ratings); Dax pulled, Gismo pulled; Yash pulled.  We will just have to wait and see if those remaining that declared for Universal Sieger follow through with qualifying scores of 270 in a USA-sanctioned trial and/or participation in a USA regional championship.   

 I  also stated that if Ronaldo does enter  and trial at a USA trial to qualify  and participates in a USA Regional Championship, I will send Wanderer an Edible Bouquet.  

There used to be a person who wrote up reviews of the bite work for each of the VA and V rated dogs - did anyone do this for this years event?

You might think this as a bitch session.  I just don't understand why we do not see official videographers doing this kind of big show.  In 2004 I went to a simple Regional with Breed Survey and the whole thing was videographed.  I purchased one for only $65.00.  OK so I go to the NASS and DawnMarie is the the official Photographer.  Owns all photos etc.  But absolutely unaffordable.  I am talking about the public perception.  If I were to purchase the pics of my dog and I am sure those were not the only photos of myself and my dog, the cost would be $500.00.  But the photos say nothing.

I really wish these venues would move toward videographing the entire event.  I would rather spend $120 for a video that memorializes the event in its entirety than deciding which stack photo of my dog will look good on my website (which I don't have) and signing complying with godzillions of copywrights that the "official" photographer decides to implement. 

I find the NASS 2007 official photographer to have outpriced herself and therefore not made available to those wishing to purchase photos of their dogs or other dogs, a non-official photographer.  Most of us that knew Larry memorialized the event with Larry's photos. 

Who decided not to videograph the event?

Sunshine:  What Larry are you referring to?

 i just viewed video of the bitework of the males at the SS.  Obiwan  did perform very credibly.  What isinteresting  is the performance of a couple of the VA dogs that received "pronounced" rating.   The other interesting thing is the number of "Sweet Watr" dogs that went 'ins."   

Not meaning to sound any more obtuse than usual...what's a sweet watr dog?

I agree Mystere!  I don't know the dogs, but it was interesting to see. 

Never being to a sieger show, what's up with the Do overs??????

I believe that Mystere may be referring to O.G. Aqua Dulce (home of zwinger vom Wustenberger-Land http://www.wustenbergerland.com/).

yes they were.
