| | Quote: | I feel totally humiliated. At 76 years old and what? 40 years in the
breed? Because a kennel club official and their Vet said my 5 month old
baby GSD was unsound and they did not want her to be on a display team
which the members of the public would see and which the K.C. felt was
not the "sort of German Shepherd" they wanted the General Public to see I
was asked to leave. Yes... Get out FAST ... leave the show. No
questions of not going in the team again but "Get Out" ... LEAVE" How
humiliating is that? A 5 month old baby? Loose yes ... Unsound at 5
months? possibly but 110% sound in character, 110 % sound in working
ability - exactly WHAT are the K.C. looking for? Here we have 110%
soundness of character - even the KC Official said that - but because
she is a baby and loose I get banished from Crufts 2010. For my part -
lets get away from this bureaucracy and stupidness. We can do without
it.

she wants no publicity now. She particularly asked me NOT to put it in
to the breed notes. She made no reference to Andrew, just said to me
that they had heard that the Top Guy had been very angry that it had
gone public and shouldnt have. Various people have emailed *** and
directly asked the question, but there have been no replies or no
contacts from her thus far. This is so very sad. Obviously, if I am
told that it must not go in Breed Notes - and that was how my email was
headed, then I have to respect this wish.
I think Robert Killicks column would be excellent and I know Robert, but
*** has asked me not now, to do anything at all. How frustrating is
this.

| Quote: | The Kennel Club can confirm that a German Shepherd Dog was excluded from
the Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme Display Ring. This decision was
taken upon the advice of the DFS Crufts vet who felt that the dog showed
abnormality in the hindquarters. The Kennel Club is dedicated to
ensuring that DFS Crufts is a celebration of healthy dogs and in a ...
See moredisplay ring, where there is no judge to make an executive
decision, it is particularly important that the vet takes the
responsibility for ensuring that all dogs are sound representatives of
their breed.

| that poor woman must have been gutted, makes me think do people really know about sheps , lots of young pups are loose on their back ends, if was me they would have had to pick me up and throw me out, did they go round checking the pekenese for face lifts or the cavalier to see if any were shaking there heads , my bet is no they didn't, _________________ HAPPINESS IS A OBEDIENT DOG , I MISS MY SWEETIE MORE EACH DAY  |
