The Fat Lady has begun to sing

I wrote in another thread:

Quote:The weak show lines who look hurt when they are hit with a stick will be the example used to demonize and further weaken the SchH test, just like the structure of the show dogs is making these documentaries possible.

and here is the example I am referring to. 2009 Sieger Show "bitework":

BTW, I feel quite sorry for these dogs. Apparently, someone gave these people the wrong directions to the dog park.
If they really intended to be there, all the handlers in this video need a swift kick to their head. You have to be one MEAN person to put dogs like these in that situation.
Oh, and the judge needs a 2x4 to his head. Maybe it will create the needed adjustment to his brain.

I saw that video Anne, it is so sad.

While watching I had to pinch myself a few times to see if I wasn`t hallucinating.

It was saddening to see, painful even.

That was pathetic. I felt so bad for the third and fourth dogs as they were cowering before they ever got to the helper. These were clearly dogs being bred for show and pet homes and not bred for sport.

the 3rd lady should have been looking embarrassed!! 1254 I think her number was.. when the dog got to the blind, it just looked confused

the next one, I don't know enough to judge. the dog looked like it had a good bite, after it got going at, but the next second seemed to be cowering? until it ran away at the end anyway.

and the rest just.... wow...
the dog that wouldn't out and then ran away.. a couple of them seemed to be more wanting to play with the sleeve and then with the stick were like "what the *censored* is that???"

If a person bred a dog with crippling dyplasia there would be an outcry of indignation, should not there be a cry of indignation from these same people about crippling temperament???? No soapbox today because its construed as "bashing", however I only want to make this point that is very very important and factually cannot be denied.
Every one of these dogs that went VA or high V in this show are very very closely in/linebred on the same dogs as the dogs in the video. If you can't connect the dots fom there there is a visual impairment.

Interesting to be certain. The only dogs I have seen doing these exercises before this video were working bred GSDs and Dutch Shepherds and Malis.

I could not get the thing to download well at work so just saw the first dog. Look like the dog was happy to heel in but as soon as the dog was pressured it lost courage.

A workmate was watching over my shoulder out of curiosity and she knows nothinig about dogs and her comment was "that dog looks scared".

[JKlatsky]

Wow.

Now Now.... I am sure that the dogs are <u>Wonderful Examples </u>of the breed!!! What happened was there was a rumor going around that this totally Incompetent helper stepped on the toe of one of the dogs that went first and each dog was being extra careful not to get there little tootsies mashed..... You do realize what kind of crippling pain that can cause don't you? Can't blame a dog for being extra careful on keeping their distance from that horrible helper can ya???




This is SO MUCH WORSE that what I saw even 10 years ago at the sieger show!!!
