This could not be further from the truth in a lot of aspects. Is it possible to see true colors in a show? Sure. It's surely not the only way, and it's not the way that happens most often. If you're a person that likes to look at a dog for a bit here and there and let the show be whatever, then you may see that.Originally Posted by skipper
If you're a person that likes to know what you have before you step into that arena, you can see all you want at the house MOST of the time, barring running into a legitimate bad dog. There have been dogs that stepped out of the home box with their faces missing, half missing, legs broken with some amputated due to the severity, etc etc. I've seen similar things happen a lot more often at home with two serious dogs than a show where 98% of the time, one dog is clearly better than the other, and it basically amounts to a snowball effect for the loser.
If someone thinks true colors are shown in matches, then I'm of the mindset they've never seriously wanted to see what true colors were all about, and that's okay. We all want different things out of our dogs that we breed and/or show.
