Thank you, Roger, for explaining yourself. I am really not very offended We must always remember, though, that dog judging is objective and that most standards leave room for differing opinions. Yet, I do know how you feel. Sometimes I think of all that showing, breeding and judging dogs and, therefore, living my life in the pursuit of dog activities has cost me a great deal. Then I look at the dogs I've produced that fill my eye, and I think, "What better thing is their to do with my time and money?" I'm hooked!
Though I do judge fairly often, the thrill and anticipation of breeding will always be the ultimate part of the game for me. I don't know why!
