THE POLITICS AT THE 2011 NASS - Page 2

Leoetta, thanks for sharing your opinion and thank you for your honesty, congratulations for both your male and female, I think a female from your own breeding getting such a recognition at top competition is something any breeder would be very proud of and would place a heavy responsibility to maintain and move forward with his/her distinguished breedings. Good luck and once again congratulations and well done.

Marko this is not News, LOL, I just laugh at everything and tease around, but 40% of dog class earns a VA title? 12 VA in the males? some Kim Kimbo dog with the most horrible front, rear, etc...plus many more, I dont live in USA anymore so I look at pictures alot.  But hey, congrats to the ones that deserved it! some very beautiful dogs in it! Oh dont forget the 50% of females Earned the VA title, Maybe we start to see 55 VA dogs in Germany!

I think I'll just stay out of this fray...

 What German judges screwing people...Say it isn,t so!!!!!!

I thought the Germans were beyond reproach.

Money-Politics- have and will continue to ruin this breed.

money, politics and the apologists!

"Too bad the dogs can't be shown as just a number, then the actual pedigree revealed after judgement..."

It's too easy to figure out.  You recognize the handler, the person calling the dog, if not the dog himself.  Plus ideally the VA dogs are being judged on their progeny. Many judges like to see a dog mutliple times before they will award a high placement.  On the flip side, I believe for large AKC shows like what you see on TV the BIS judge does not "know" the dogs, but everyone KNOWS the dogs, I mean you can tell which dog is which because they are so heavily campaigned leading up to those shows.

 VA-Harry della Real Favorita - stick hits on the attack out of blind.  Yes, the dog received stick hits on both the attack out of blind and the courage test; I have photos of the routine.  Yes, I am the owner of the dog.  Yes, I purchased the dog right before the deadline of the Sieger Show.  Yes, I am a small breeder/exhibitor who loves her dogs.  Yes, the dog has super drives.  Yes, the dog has a beautiful show record in Europe and he will continue to be promoted here in the USA.

Looks like Marko owes someone an apology.

 I,d like to see video,s of the Attack on the handler and courage test,s from this show. In all honesty the photo does not show a stick hit it shows a rebound of movement of a flexible stick. Again I,d like to see video and hear it also a good stick hit can been heard better then seen.    

Keith Grossman - NO I DO NOT OWE CESSNA AN APOLOGY BECAUSE I AS SO MANY OTHERS WATCHED AS HARRY DID NOT RECEIVE A SINGLE STICK HIT AND IT WAS THE TALK OF MANY ! SOMEONE PLEASE POST A PICTURE OR VIDEO OF THE FRONT HALF PROTECTION SERVICE FOR ALL TO SEE ! You are a small breeder ? Harry show record includes an SG-32 in a Landesgruppen Show coincidently NASS V-20 Armani v Finkenweg was SG-11 in same show in another show Harry was SG-6 and NASS V-11 Camillo v Pallas Athene was SG-3 the difference i can only guess is there owners did not buy there dogs from the POLITICALLY CONNECTED ! WHAT IS THE REASON FOR YOUR HARRY's "BEAUTIFUL SHOW RECORD in Europe" including many K or EZ's when he would need to prove his BITEWORK OR HIS " SUPER DRIVE" !!!! His show record is MEDIOCRE it is his IMPORTER-BROKER WHO IS OUTSTANDING AT DELIVERING RATINGS THAT THE DOGS IN MOST CASES DO NOT DESERVE ! SO I AM SORRY THAT THE TRUTH HURTS WOULD YOU LIKE MORE EXAMPLES?
