You are one of the typical guys I would expect to meet at one of those events. Your snobbish demeaner is a hallmark of the organizations. It is your kinds mentality that you "compete" in the venue that has ruined it. They are tests of dogs against a standard, the tests are not "competitions".

You know you can take DD and register it in the AKC and PRESTO!! It says on the AKC papers it is a german wirehaired pointer!! How about that? The Kurzhaar is just the german GSP, you can do the same thing when registering a DK. The only difference is the germans have a "supposed" breeding program. What it really is is a little tight knit gang of cronyism. If you want to see the American version, then you go to a NAVHDA event. Same ol, same ol....[:@]
