Quote:
judges awarding CCs for the first time in Gundog breeds. Have to attend FT or Working Tests and get confirmation they have watched a Gundog being 'functional'.

Then just ignore them in the ring in favour of overweight specimens handled by close friends _________________ Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
That is a very cynical view. there are certainly some judges who would do so, but not all. _________________ Aberdon HPR's. Good-looking AND Intelligent.
Yes I knew about this & not sure it will work but at least the KC is trying although I dread to think of some of the judges I know attend a FT _________________ Claire Minstergate Weimaraners
as many of the gundog breeds have split into two separate "types" show and work, so what gain would a judge get from attending say a ESS trial and then judging them in the ring where apart from the colouring they bare no resemblance/??

The judge may then want to get into field trials,especially if he thinks he will earn more money from his dogs trialling than showing.But then again it is a lot harder to get a dog winning in trials than taking a dog into a ring,a dog that nature has formed,and taking all the "oh so and so you are so good to have bred that dog well done" and the like
What a bunch of wet blankets!!! Here we have Kennel Club that is at last trying to put things right and what do they get - more criticism and hassle. Is it not time to stand up and say - OK we'll forget the past and see what happens in the future. Some POSITIVE thinking for a change!
I wish I hadn't bothered posting this on here now. _________________ Aberdon HPR's. Good-looking AND Intelligent.
No Annie, I am with you. It is a start and it is certainly a step in the right direction. I think the KC should be applauded for their efforts, a long way still to go but progress none the less. _________________ Fi 1 year old Weimaraner

Harley Weimaraner. Much loved and sorely missed.
