My good friend and handler Bill Basu and I fight over just about
everything...its funny we are such good friends, we agree on very little...I
really like this idea...it has an Olympic feeling, you know...the high diver or
gymnastic competitor is scored by three judges...afraid it will never work in
dogs....but you keep on thinking Bill...spending all those nights in hotel
rooms with me is finally making you smarter!...lol...FB

brought to mind an idea i've thought of for quite a while for judging our
Specials class at the National. Most probably, this has thought about before
but let me float the idea and see what the "List" thinks:
1. Specials Judging: A Panel of Three Judges voted upon by the Membership.
2. Each Judge is given a definitive WEIGHTED scorecard(Example only, this i'm
sure could be improved upon)that defines the different attributes of the GSD as
per the Std, Judges fill out the scorecard independently)
Example Only:
Attribute Weighting Score 1-10
Sidegait 9
Tempermant 10
Coming and Going 9
Eye Color 8
Coat 8
Feet 8
etc
3. Animals with the highest scorecard are GV and GVX
4. Animals are rated select based on their score
5. All Animals over a certain score are given select.
6. Scorecards are provided to owners at the end of the show.
These are advantages and disadvantags i can think of, i'm sure the list will
provide a bunch of others:
Advantages:
Get cross-section of Opinion
Owners and Breeders have 3 Judge opinion on each dog in a standard format based
upon the GSD standard. Could be a valuable learning tool, great database for
the future.
More judges get to judge the National(assuming this is a good thing)
Will get more participation at National as people will not be influenced by
PERCIEVED politics or likes or dislikes of one judge only or taking care of
"friends" concern.
Disadvantages:
Specials Class will take more time(i believe with computer technology today,
this could be made quite efficient)
Don't know if this is within AKC rules and guidlines
This is a concept only, a lot of work would have to be put in in defining the
scorecard to "match" the priorities of the standard ,also investigation of how
the technology can be put to best use to maximize efficiency.
Thought???
