Ok you're welcome to have an opinion, I understand where you're coming from, but you shouldn't knock it until you try it. Here is a photo of Henry on the move, strung up, look at his tail slashing as he goes...he's not stressed by me having him on a thin lead that is held in such a manner. Any dog that feels it is being strangled would twist and turn to try to escape, it wouldn't trot around the ring with it's tail wagging.



It's just different opinions, that's all, but opinions are normally based on experience

I agree, I LOVED how happy that flatcoat was you could see he was having a great time.

I liked the english setter thought it had a lovely soppy face I prefered it to the GSP ah how can I say that lol

Is it just me or was the viz a tiny bit lame?

Sacrilege!!
She was rather delish... gorgeous face!!

Have to agree (could not find a head banging on brick wall smilie but that will do )

(I must admit I do prefer non solid colourings in GSPs, again personal choice )

No, I thought it was too.

i knew the flatcoat would take it as soon as he entered the ring, i said it to my mum his tail just didnt stop wagging im so pleased he won

i would have liked to have seen the irish being placed though

I like all the colours of the GSP it depends what shape they are for me I like the setter colours, love how the flecks of colour smudge down the coats / feathers.

I actually prefer the black and white Pointers... I have an orange and white!!
No sleight on solids at all, I just like a mix of colours...

i knew the flat coat would win as soon as it came in the ring. an absolute stunner of a dog and hes done very well with it this year makes me want one even more

id picked the goldie and the pointer to be shortlisted... but not the bracco or the spinone (me and DD were texting each other she got those two right )

i really liked the american cocker as well. but im quite chuffed with myself i picked the winner (shows how much attention ive been paying now im in the show world )
