  5. You haven't seen very many smooths, have you Sarah?

  6. It would be interesting to see the ratio of breed wins:breeds losses for both Demetrio and Dodger. I think it would educational.

  7. The last anonymous note was from a Troll. Thought this was a Troll Free Zone. Said in very bad taste and poor sportsmanship.

    Behind every successful team is a pack of haters.

  9. Honestly, I cannot understand why every Smooth Fox fan isn’t celebrating today. A new breed record is something all of you can be proud of, especially when the current record holder is the Number One Dog in AKC, especially when you have two splendid examples of the breed in the all breed top ten. I did let the anonymous troll post the above comment solely so I could add this comment…I don’t know how many Smooth Fox Sarah has seen, but this Terrier owner has seen a few in his over 40 years in the dog game and I think Dodger is a wonderful representative of the breed and what a top AKC show dog should be. He may not be our anonymous troll’s ideal interpretation of the standard, but 71 All Breed BIS judges disagree with him/her.

  10. Here we go again hiding behind the infamous annynomous post. First and foremost, any of the top winning Smooths past or preesent were well derserving of their wins. As Dodger's owner and sometimes handler :), and Amy's husband, I would be more than happy and proud to compare a won/lost ratio, groups to BIS ratios, size of shows won, competition defeated, length of time to achieve the record, etc. I guess what I am saying is I understand differences in intricacies and preferences in breed type, style, showmanship,etc. But really? 71 BISs, (2010 - 40 Bests and 80 Group. 1s), #1 Terrier, currently #1 Dog all-breed...how bad can he be?

    I don't in anyway wish to take away from previous winners or current winners in our breed. As I said before, I understand personal preference. But I find it completely ridiculous to try to imply Dodger or any of the other current or past winners are not good representatives of their breed.

  11. I think Dodger is a stunning dog, and rumor has it that Dodger & Amy are simply fantastic in the ring together. Congrats to Camp Dodger.
    As for Dodger not being a good representative of the breed - people always find fault with winners.
    I'm personally drawn more to Adam, but that in no way diminishes the respect I have for Dodger & Amy; they deserve to be lauded.

  12. I have seen both at the Garden and although I like Adam and a couple others, I had to agree with the judge on the day and I too would have chosen Dodger. Sorry Amy but that dog doesn't even need a handler and wins all on his own. Guess that's why we have dog shows and judges. Everyone has an opinion. Breeders should be proud of the quality in that breed right now.
