100 percent agree. I judged the previous week's championship and seen the same thing. People need to start getting rid of dogs and going threw more to find the best. Dogs with pulled tails should not be bred. So they have no place in these trials. These short ranging dogs have no place in these trials also as Eric states. These dogs should be or have the ability to be of championship quality. If you have no clue what a championship quality dog is then you need to start walking braces. These trials are for the betterment of the breed. These are the dogs that are showing themselves to see if they are worthy to be bred. We can't keep on this track and expect this to all work itself out fine. We are on a bad path.
