Not sure how you get to that conclusion?
You can only beat what is there, and if there are no PD competing at the trial you are competing at, you have not beaten any have you?!
shame your bc was so small although we currently have cockers going over a 6ft scale!
They are very fit though, even though they qualify for the smaller jumps!
Ps I do not know of ANY breed that is consistently producing 0:0 scores, do you?
Not seen any in the KC breed supplements

A police dog handler has been treated in hospital following the deaths of two of his dogs who were left in a car on one of the hottest days of the year.
The animals were found collapsed in an unventilated vehicle at the Met Police's training centre in Keston, south-east London, on Sunday.
The officer, widely reported to be Sgt Ian Craven, was later found in the Newham area suffering a hand injury.
Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said he was "very saddened" by the deaths.
The Directorate of Professional Standards has begun an inquiry.
Disciplinary inquiry
Sir Paul added: "I'm very saddened by what's happened and we are taking it very seriously.
"There's an investigation going on. It's being led by the RSPCA, with a separate internal disciplinary investigation going on in the force."
Officers forced their way into the car after being alerted.
The working Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd puppy were taken from the dog training centre to an emergency vets, where both later died.
Police have not officially named the officer, but confirmed a policeman was found with injuries following the discovery of the dead canines.
The Met Police spokesman added: "The officer was located in Newham borough suffering a hand injury.
"He was taken to an east London hospital as a precaution and is currently receiving medical treatment."
The RSPCA, which is also investigating the incident near Bromley, where temperatures reached almost 30C on Sunday, advised people not to leave dogs in vehicles "for any length of time" during hot weather.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been made aware of the incident and the subsequent investigation.
The Met has about 250 working dogs and the animals at the training centre in Keston were either donated or bred on site.
The centre was set up in 1954.

And as for the brief mention on the news I think some of this is the usual case of the police closing ranks and not allowing reporting of their short comings.
Moi? Cynical?

I know a good few PD handlers, some of them are real dog handlers but sadly some are police officers with a dog.
At our local PD section, they no longer train the dogs from scratch, they buy in fully trained dogs from Eastern Europe, if the dogs do not obtain their PD license they are shipped back & another supplied in it's place. Their drugs/explosive dogs come fully trained from the Army dog training school. To become a PD handler, all the officers have to do is apply & wait for a slot to turn up
He retired earlier this year and said he wouldn't trust the current lot with a hamster never mind a dog!
