I've been having a great time the last few weeks.
My mom and I went on a road trip across the country and had a great time. I delivered a puppy to his new home, visited family and hit a few shows along the way. It's great to see old friends at shows and get to actually watch and observe since I didn't have any dogs with me.

Little miss Kandi had a great weekend plus got her CGC. Congratulations to Tim and Connie on doing such a great job with her. I can't wait to see how she does at nationals.

Thanks everyone for your private responses to my question. I'm not quite sure why you are afraid to say anything publicly but I'm sure you have your reasons, silly as they may be.
The one thing I am noticing is how the judges who have done the education seminars are being told not to go into your dogs mouth. They are being told to not take the breed standard into consideration, to ignore the light eyes and kinked or too short tails. To ignore the dogs that hit the dirt when they try to examine them.
Does any one wonder why they are being told this?
When a city or a county has troubles with a breed where do you think they go for information? To the breeders? NO. They go to AKC and to the AKC judges whom they consider to be the experts on dogs. So when they want to ban a breed from something whether it be an airline or BSL and they talk to a judge do you think what that judge has to say matters? If that judge is telling them that you can't go into a dogs mouth, you can't touch or examine them, or they have an unstable temperament who's fault is it that these judges are saying these things? It's the Judges Education Reps that are giving the seminars who are to blame.
If you want to save your breed you all better step up NOW and do something about it before it's too late.
You need an entire new BOD. You need to have the ones who are not running impeached, you need to run for office yourself. You need to be writing letters to AKC complaining. You need to be talking to judges and letting them know the truth about the breed. When a judge says they have been told they can't go into your dogs mouth ask them where they heard that and invite them to examine your dog. EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE.
DO SOMETHING NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
