I find myself being overly critical of my dogs. When I was raising my big family, I found myself being over critical of my children as well. I think that it is as big a fault as being kennel blind and not seeing the faults of your own dogs. Sometimes, having someone else recognize the same strengths and weaknesses that I see is very helpful, particularly if they can help me to put a "weight" on how important the flaw is. I've told you all before how hard a time I am having with my Spencer. A magnificent head....truly.....on a longish body. So....when you guys show up for lunch, we're putting Spencie on the table first. Myra
