all breed ring will go to the ends of the earth to prove the all breed

who put them up or finished their dog has a better eye than Capt. Max even
though he or she spent their life breeding and showing Pom.s
The last ARBA show I did, (I know, I keep on bringing that up, but the last
all breed show I judged I followed Helen Fisher the day before), there was a
breed with an entry of one.
I thought it would be easy, since the entry was I believe from one of the
European countries, (the breed) and when I looked at the dog, I realized it
seemed to be a perfect match to the standard. Just because I was curious and I
had never seen the breed before, I went to the table and read over the
standard again while looking over the entry. Yes, it matched exactly, and of
course
won BOB.
After the class I went up to the owner and told her how much I liked the
dog, and how good it appeared to me. She thanked me, and then told me she had
just come back from Europe and the dog I judged was the number one dog in
it's
country that year. She had convinced the owner to allow it to be shown in
the United States for one year.
One time when I judged the French Mastiff, they had brought over to judge
the day before me, the top French Mastiff breeder from France. They had an
entry of 86. I studied the standard for a month before the show, and avoided
watching what the other judge did. When I finally picked my BOB dog, a little
woman ran up to me and said with a deep French accent, "You did exactly what I
did yesterday, you really understand the breed."
Some times you luck into it.
