Thank you Gretchen. That is exactly what I needed to hear. It breaks my heart to see some of the chubby Rotts in the ring. I will show my boy as he is and while he may not get gasps of delight from the crowd at the show I think he will on the Schutzhund field
.
I was a spectator at a sieger show last summer and watched one of the female classes...I think it was the 9-12 month class. The bitches...(in my opinion) were grossly overweight. The judge actually had some pretty harsh words for the owners/handlers and said that puppies should not be carrying this much weight and that they shouldn't look like adults. He actually said that they were 'killing the dogs' by having them so heavy
.
That was the moment I thought I may have a hope in the Sieger arena!
Thanks again although I'm sure Eri won't thank you when he learns he won't be getting any extra meals afterall!
