A nice message was posted on my facebook page from the owner of the bitch that won the Vintage class yesterday. I must admit I was horrified to see such a lame wobbly animal win the class, a slight insult to the others to be honest ... but NOT the dog or the owners fault! ...
"Well done Rhian - And you were robbed in Vintage - Your Tali moved like a youngster and should have taken that class easily. Our judge must have been looking at something else when I attempted to move wobbly Katja in an elegant straight line lol!"
Anyway Tali doesn't care!!!!
Take a look at this ... The GSD grad class yesterday. Again showing the diversity in type and then the total inconsistency of the judging! Loki was first, the last English type dog was 2nd and Bella with Ian was 3rd! With all 4 putting on a reasonable performance, then depending on your interpretation of the breed standard the English dog should have been 1st or last .. they just don't compare, well in my eye anyway!
