[quote="Wolf"][blockquote]Very little overt character assessment but definitely the judges put up the more confident dogs, tail up, that present as if they own the ring. I found one written critique with "good temperament" included. Verbal comments from judges usually address training and ring readiness.[/blockquote] Translation: They don't care about temperament as long as the dogs have bear heads.[/quote] Just another example of an unreasonable complaint, the type that gets ignored. Furthermore, on one hand, you've complained that we shouldn't follow the Russians, in the next breath, suggested that the only way is for everyone to run back to Russia to show our dogs, from thread to thread, but all on this CO forum.
