My main worry is who is doing the judging. Are they trained in animal behaviour? Do they know the inherent behaviour of specific breeds? I had a ranger tell me my Dane was a dangerous dog (she scared a clipped budgie to death that my next door neighbour had released in his back yard "for exercise" and had managed to flutter over to our yard) and because she stood up on a normal 5 foot fence we needed to get a 6 foot fence so she couldn't jump over it. Danes are not generally a jumping breed - they would rather go through it than over it. The media dont help either - Channel Nine reporting on a dog attack repeatedly called the dog a Bull Terrier when it was a mixed-pitty type. I'm scared guys .... does it all seem like Nazi Germany all over again to you?
