Hi,
I just started to read this discussion, so I'm giving some comments on things that are written some time ago...

Were you never astonished about the excellent P1 note Mery get? During the youth presentation in Czech Republic she get P5 (note "good") because of the really visible problems with movement. The problem didn't disappeared and on your web page you wrote nice articles about hydroterapie which is necessary because of the problems with movement Mery has...
Look, despite of the movement problems which she has she get without any problems the EXCELLENT note during the bonition in Belgium... Just perfect code...  [-> " is there a different standard for CSW in Belgium?"]
Let's say you have an another female which has the same problems with the movement but they are caused not because of HD but slack ligaments. And the problems are visible... You see - with such female you would get perfect code and breed with her even if it is serious DISQUALIFYING FAULT....
Did you really never wondered about the result you get? |
I really like to say that at the time of our bonitation, Ali (Mery) was doing fine and her movements were a lot better (even very good), probably because of the hydrotherapy. I never noticed the 'walking-problems' of Mery before. Only during our last event (training for -right- the bonitation) I saw that she walked like... you know... a dog with HD.
And a bonitation is like a dog show: it shows the dog on one particular day, on one moment,... So maybe Mery's movement was fine during the minute she had to show her movements!
While writing this, I start wondering for whom or for what I'm telling all this... It is completely off-topic, but I feel the urge to share this with all of you. It's insane that people start to 'attack' each other personally. I'm on nobody's side (I say this because it feels like there are different, opposite, 'sides'), but please stop saying all these things about each other. As far as I know Mirka, she only tries to do her best for the breed, in every possible way. And I guess that's the same for Margo and all others here on the forum. So why can't we JUST TALK/DISCUSS without all the other crap... This is worse then politics
Or wait... this IS politics
But I'll continue reading. There is also useful information about the bonitation hidden behind the insults etc...
