Val, There is a guy on here, I think it's Brithunter, with the tag line "don't let them grind you down". Maybe they are right maybe they aren't, it really doesn't matter. You're excited, I'm excited, wheather it's political or not a GSP finally won. And unless they can test it for steroids or something they can't take it away.
I do agree with M.T. though and that's whats consoled me about the pointing breeds not being recognized for the last forever. Every time a dog breed gets recognition from a "Show" title, the public becomes enamored with them and every Tom, Dick and Harry on the continent thinks they ought to breed them and sell them for a fast profit, with no intention of keeping up the breed standard. As M.T, mentioned that's what happened to the Irish Setter, the Lab, the Poodle to some degree and a whole host of others. You can find them in every animal shelter in the country. I just hope that doesn't happen here. I will have to admit though when I bought my first GSP here six years ago, if you met someone on the street and they seen him, they would ask what kind of dog is that? Now they are all over town. Anyway thanks for the post Val, I enjoyed it. But then you knew I would.
