trials are the only bench mark where a group can come together on mass and show their wears unless you can suggest another platform dogs can show off their skills next to another to be considered .its easy to sell snake oil if your its not being tested !!!!!!
Personally I think all should look to the game trials as the bench mark and attend a few to understand what work level their dog may be able to perform to with a bit of good advice .There are no negatives in taking your dog to a trial
