[Jacob-list] 2011 AGM

[Shannon Phifer]

I really appreciate the education base of the show at the AGM.  I think it is 
great to get feedback from a Jacob breeder/judge - especially Ingrid Painter.  I 
live an hour from her and I have never had the opportunity to show under her.  
There are so few shows where the judge knows what a good jacob is made up of.  
Too many breeds have been ruined by being bred specifically for the show ring 
and I would hate to see the jacob go down this path.

We did talk about giving ribbons but decided not to.  We wanted the shown to 
focus on the education part and not on the winning (or losing) in the show ring. 
 Plus it would have been an added expense.   A lot of people who get ribbons put 
them in a drawer and never see them again.  Sometimes the desire to win in the 
shown ring encourages people to breed Jacobs to win rather then to preserve a 
primitive breed.  I guess in this show the bucks stops with me.   Sorry to 
disappoint.
