Did You See It? Did You See It???

[M.T. Pockets]

I've been hearing about it all day on the news radio in Minnesota. I can't ever remember hearing about this event before, apparantly it's a big deal for a hunting breed to win this event. I guess the people outside Madison Square Garden was going wild.

If people are having fun, why not. It's not my money their spending. I don't know if this win will be a real benefit to the German Shorthair breed overall, I think of what happened to the Iris Setter breed when they started being bred for shows instead of hunting.

I have quite a bit of experience in my youth showing cattle. In my mind there's not much difference than these dog shows. With cattle it was more of a pride issue and parents will do and spend whatever it takes for their little 4-Her to win a purple ribbon at the County Fair.
