Re: How will we know ?

I was reading up on the new requirements for degrees for our hounds. It is what it is.
My question is in 2-3 years when I am looking at a set of 6 generation papers. How will I or anyone know if the titles were earned under the new format or the old format?
Does it matter to anyone?
(1) You won't know. But, so what. I can't look at a title and tell if a dog was trashy or straight. If the dog is mean or not. If the dog is silent or open. If the dog was titled by an honest handler or crooked handler. If it won with good competition, or hardly any competition. Etc., etc.
(2) Does it matter to anyone. I can only speak for myself and say No, it doesn't matter.
To me, the knowledge and integrity of the people behind the dog (and their opinions) carry more weight than the degrees. Of course, I prefer to see it myself (so I can have a first-hand opinion).
