Hi JoAnn, I think Andy looked great too as I've said now three times.......the handler did a nice job.........but the judge can see his lovely outline and wagging tail just as easy with the handler standing instead of on one knee. You've been in the breed for a long time and I'm disappointed that you don't respect and defend the presentation appropriate to cavaliers. We will have to agree to disagree. I'm not trying to be argumentative.......but this really bothers me to see cavalier tradition being "changed" because of the AKC ring. Unfortunately, it appears not enough of us feel this way to have any leverage in keeping it from happening. pam
