<< So, in my mind, those who show a highly obedient Cavalier who never moves a muscle but is "free baited" and those who hard stack do a similar disservice to their exhibit by inhibiting that happy expression. >> In a show in liberty park years ago a judge spent a long time going back and forth between my Holly and another entry trying to decide on best of breed. Holly and I are very close and in the ring she locks eyes with me sometimes and is absolutely a statue. After some time the judge gave the breed to the other dog. As we were leaving the ring he stopped me and told me he really liked my dog and may have given her the win except she showed no emotion as the temperment is described. i.e. she was too much of a statue. I would enter under this judge again in a heartbeat even though I lost as he clearly was trying to enforce the standard. We need more like this. As a side note I would be very curious if the big name breeder behind the dog Jimmy Moses hard stacks has ever tried to tell him how improper that is for the breed. If not it is a real shame.
