Hi Macker, I think Gr Ch Barney is worth mentioning on this poll, just because of his rarity as a Gr Ch in your neck of the woods

I understand RB maybe not being into breeding, but not sure if that means a person has to have no respect for the life of a dog and just run everything into the ground until it's gone.

I know that's the mentality of some, but it's very short-sighted IMO. and not very cool either.

Especially since the dog proved close to DG.

Now, if he would have been lost, say, in a showdown with your dog ... as a "Best of Best" effort where you're at ... that would have at least been some kind of historical goal to shoot for.

But the way he was lost, to a 0-time winner, with zero "upside" to a win, was just an utter waste of a great dog IMO.
