Well, that is clear as mud. How does the Judge know how/ifese dogs qualify?
In the case of a CH veteran hows the judge know that dog is a CH of record?
They don't have access to the catalog. So, is it up to the ring steward to
tell them? And, if the ring steward starts advising the judge on entries,
couldn't that be misconstrued?
Folks that want to compete in this venue are going to have to be very vigilant
in checking the judges books at the shows and making sure their dog is properly
credited for those points.
There are so many questions and the whole thing is very confusing to the judges
and the exhibitors. We have been discussing this for weeks at our handling
class and nobody seems to know what it's all about.
