My following suggestions are mainly targeted at Male exhibits, but
do not exclude Female exhibits. The Sieger is a Breed show, and as
such the top winning males have considerable influence on the future
of our breed, therefore they should and must be rigorously
scrutinised, and Judging must be honest and transparent, with as
many obvious temptations removed.
THREE PRIORITY
SUGGESTIONS
1) The accurate measuring height to withers of every exhibit at a
Sieger show and the publication of all measurements.
2) An end to any judge being allowed to judge any dogs bred by them,
or any dog that has resided with them in their Kennels during the
previous year.
3) An end to any dogs bred by any of the Judges at a Sieger Show
being allowed to enter that specific Sieger Show in any class
whatsoever.
An urgent and detailed feasibility study, with published progress
reports, into the following:
1) A system of taking hair samples from say the first 50 dogs in
each class and others randomly, and having them scientifically
tested for any colouring.
2) A drug testing system - for performance enhancing drugs and
steroids.
a) Now ask
yourselves why wouldn't the SV want to accept these suggestions?
AND
b) Now ask
yourselves why wouldn't the SV Judges & Körmeister’s want to accept
these suggestions?
