Gotcha Mike.. I'm going to be 90 (if I don't get shot by a jealous husband) and I agree with what Eric has made note of. When I was younger (like 40 years ago) I'd try to walk most if not all of the braces in our (Gladwin Field Trial Grounds) championships and on only a rare occasion would I be surprised by the end results. IMO, The Judges Get It Right.. If a dog doesn't have what I call 'eye candy' it isn't going to win. Everything else comes after that. Birds, range etc.. It's the whole package, and I thank those that are willing to give up their time to judge against those standards..
