Aside from USCA membership requiring fair, strict judging from the national organization, someone should put a proposal (with the USCA)forward that all future events be videographed and the files available online. I can’t help but think any breeder criticized for his dogs work, or handler accused of cheating, when caught on tape would endeavor to “clean things” up for future events, if they knew their poor behavior was going to see the light of day.

On whole, i believe these breeders to be proud people, they wouldn't compete if they wern't - the problem is that there has been no oversight, along with a lack of evidence on what the few who attended and spoke up saw and described - allowing for back and forth dicourse on whether the work was truly substandard, or just people being overly critical.  Now, we can see that with actaul video, that is available to the masses, there is no question as to the level of preformance and no room for debate.  


Thoughts?

 I posted a question within the last 6 weeks about the bite work, or lack there of at conformation shows.  It is much easier then at the nationals (one dog one test). It's extremely sad to see, how the same helper that will feed the sleeve to a dog at the seiger show will chase a dog at the nations. I blame USA they allow this to continue. They don't hold the judges accountable. Who in turn don't hold the helpers accountable. I've seen national events where the judge will also make questionable calls. I was at an event in Charlottesville, Va. The dog was clearly bothering the helper. The judge says, "You only thought you saw, what you saw". He gave the dog either 99 or 100 points. I had seen this same judge make the same statement before at a regional event. I can only assume he wanted a certain dog to win.

Heck, I've seen a dog take a dump on the field during protection. At a national event and receive V in protection.
