 The German Sieger Show and Other SV-Style Shows
Judges are expected to process at least 25 dogs per hour, and when you include the shuffling of papers, checking armband numbers, waiting for dogs to enter and exit the rings, and the difficulty some exhibitors have in "setting up" their dogs, there is pitifully little time spent going over each entry.
Dogs may pace during the slow gaiting, something akin to sin in the AKC ring, but this is a natural gait, and it allows unhindered study of the back action, including any tendency to roll due to loose skin ligaments.
Obviously gun-shy dogs are put in the "insufficient" column of the judge's note pad at this time, and moved to the end of the class before much gaiting has gone on.

 Rick Springfield's Working Class Dog Remastered - 1980s
Working Class Dog was the album that made Rick Springfield an international music star.
True, Rick had released albums prior to Working Class Dog, but this was the release that set him into the pop music stratosphere.
Working Class Dog includes Rick Springfield's most well known hit "Jessie's Girl." Other popular songs on the album include "I've Done Everything For You," and "Love Is Alright Tonite." The best part about this re-master (in addition to the songs sounding better than ever), is that included on the CD are three bonus tracks.

 The News Tribune - ‘Working Class Dog’ has more in repertoire than ‘Jessie’s Girl’ (print)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In 1981, acting classes landed him the role of Dr. Noah Drake on the soap “General Hospital.” Later that year the biggest album of his career, “Working Class Dog,” dropped and made him an international star via “Jessie’s Girl” and “Love Is Alright Tonite.”
The soap opera work benefited his career but also detracted from his reputation as a legitimate songwriter.
But the summer of 2006 marks the 25th anniversary of many important achievements, including the release of “Working Class Dog,” so Springfield finally felt the festival vibe and joined VH1’s “We Are the ’80s” tour that also features Loverboy and Scandal.
