As Flowerboy said, judging is subjective and I must agree. Team Rumor
looked great and so did the other 6 Group Winners. Sour-graping it NOW
takes away from the magnificent show that Rumor and Kent put on. What an
ambassador of the breed Rumor has been--thanks for the ride!

I must disagree here! The opinions of 100 judges do not and should not
matter , the judge in the ring that day, judging the dogs in front of
him/her to the best of his/her knowledge of the standard is the ONLY thing
that should be relevant, I have won dog shows ( but not many) when I
thought there was a better dog and I have lost dog shows when I thought I
should have won.... This is a subjective sport, and that subjectivity
should be held by one judge in the ring at the given time! I'd make a good
judge if I had the qualification, the past and the future would have no
effect on me, just the dogs in the ring that day! Like BBQ , don't Matter
how your ribs were at the last contest! Ed
