handled enough years to know to hold my dog back then let them go on a loose
lead. I just ran faster for a few steps.
At a show I judged a few years ago, I told the handlers I wanted a loose
lead, and not a handler's loose lead. The handlers knew what I meant. It is
common to hold a dog up, then let it take a few more steps the same way, while
the handler lets the lead drag loose, then as soon as the dog realizes he is
not being held up, gets jerked back up on a tight lead.
I have always made it clear, that I want the dog on a loose lead "at some
point" and long enough for me to see what the dog is actually doing. I don't
need to see it for half an hour, but enough to know what I am judging.
Not everyone will do it, but those who don't find they have a number of dogs
in front of them when the ribbons are given out.
Not that there is anything right about that.
