I am always amazed at the people who say judges are too political...then all they can report after a show is the PEOPLE who won or the HANDLERS who showed the winners. For those who were not there, it would be nice to actually know about the DOGS.
Many of us can't make many of the shows not in our areas. Some have obligations, work, financial issues and can't go. Many of us are new to this hobby and don't know all the call names of the dogs or all the breeders either, however we have managed to learn kennel names and registered names. Please it isn't from laziness that we ask on this forum for names of winners. This is supposed to be a place of learning and mentoring and it would be nice for everyone to be treated with respect. There is no reason to be sarcastic when some one asks who winners are at the big shows. A persons name tells you nothing about what dog they had that took winners, so and so's black bitch was BOB, what bitch, they may have many black ones. I think that it is rude to respond with sarcasm when some one asks a question on this teaching forum. Have a little compassion for those that couldn't go, don't know everyone in the breed and are learning their way
