Not a new problem but maybe getting worse, you obviously have looked at alot of them over the last few weeks.

I think this may be a judging issue starting with the derbies, they should be judged on potential to win championships. Maybe derby judges are getting it wrong and that carries on to having shooting dogs "qualified" to run in championships but not capable of winning. It obviously takes the total package to win, class on the ground and on point and a hard driving race with purpose along with finished manners around game.
