Hmmmm, I am just old fashioned I guess
I have a real problem with examples of any breed (apart maybe from small toys) being considered mature enough to be worthy of the title of champion at that age
But then that is one of the many reasons I wont/dont show

Well, personally speaking I have seen so many GSDs which were lush in the puppy classes but completely went to pot and looked like nothing at 18 months, so to a certain extent, I agree with you.
We had a bitch who was given a RCC by a breed specialist (Dr W, MM!) who said if she had been older she would have taken the ticket.
On one hand it was gutting but on the other he was really doing the right thing as a judge.
