<< Excuse me - but the above happens more often than one would think. It
 happens up here all the time.  If you look at last years final standings
 - the top 10 - #4 and #10 are the only ones that aren't all white? The
 percentages just aren't there for winning with marked vs. all white.
 Yes, marked dogs do win but, I have SEEN the above happen, and so this
 can't be construed as sour grapes - I've seen it even when I was just a
 specator. I can almost aquait it with trying to win with a Tri colored
 Pembroke(sometimes impossible). There are also the judges that will do
 exactlly the opposite and prefer the marked over the all white.  >>

Anything can happen and surely there are those who like white, but lets not
say that these top dogs win because they are all white.  Don't worry about it.
Bring out all your dogs and show the judges and other exhibitors good dogs of
all colors.  Maybe we have some work to do in this area still, but lets keep
at it.
