I feel we should be respectful at any show venue...If I am in the audience I take detailed notes on each dogs that "drives my interest" so I can understand their strengths and weaknesses as "I" view them. Than I double check my observations with a very experienced and successful breeder in a private respectful manner. This is not to "tear the dog down", but to understand the bloodlines and how it adds to the "whole package"...also to confirm that my observations has some validity and hopefully, to gain understanding of what "I" perceive.
My belated Father always told me that you have to be born with the gift to visualize geometric angles...you can cognitively teach it to someone without that gift, but they will never have the equal ability to visualize them...so that is why there is such diversity in what each person's perceives So I feel in dogs there are some individuals who can truly visualize the "whole package" and others have been taught to understand the "whole package" ...and thirdly individuals you have made the decision to refuse to learn due to ego..."Hey they win so what do they have to learn". To sum this up...That is why more breed education is needed to reach many different types of learners. We must drop "ego" to learn. This is the reason why I am open to actively listen, synthesize, and apply...evaluate and reapply while embracing new information...it is like putting together different puzzles!!! And I am having fun while doing this!!! Just Food for Thought...
