says WHAT NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE DOG SHOW COMMUNITY MAKE?
Be much more sportsmanlike. Refrain from using vulgar lan- guage on show sights. Respect one another whether you win or lose. —Jane Naimark I would love to see the dog clubs bring back the local dog shows to encourage interest in the sport and to make the sport more visible to the public. —Anonymous That AKC, once they approve a license to judge followed through to see that all those approved follow each breed’s stan- dard in awarding the dogs. In the last year, and I have shown for 50 years, there are more justified complaints from both amateurs and professionals about the overall quality of the judging. There are some fine judges but we are paying the same entry and han- dling fees whether our dogs enter the ring under these or totally ignorant or biased judges. —Carol Beans “Because I know that most of my puppies will not become show dogs, I resolve to breed and raise healthy, well-socialized dogs that will make good pets, and to place them in loving homes.” —Anonymous I would like to get rid of owner handler. I would like to see Professionals only allowed to compete in best of Breed classes. Another thought is limit them in the lower classes. I would like to see the AKC go away with the silver gold etc championships as this has made shows top heavy in BOB. Would open the door for more class dogs to finish. —Anonymous
