I remember at a show many years ago when Fred M was judging..at the dinner
after he made a comment that stuck.. (yep! every once in a while one does!!)
Fred will always ask for a loose lead and you just won't win if he doesn't
get it..
But what he told us was
"If you KNOW your dog has a fault, defect or whatever that will be seen on a
loose lead.. DON'T DO IT.."
His rationale was that when he sees the fault, your dog won't win, if he
doesn't see a loose lead, your dog won't win.. so why show the crowd the
faults???
I have never forgotten that.. it is simply a part of the game...
