At one time a dog could bite 3 people, or bite the same person 3 times...it was a 3-strikes you're out situation. Now, one bite report, or even one reported attack, and the dog is DQ'd. Permanently. If a judge DQ's a dog there is a specific form to fill out...but again, once the book is marked, the judge can't change it. He can't take away the win. He CAN report the dog, tho...he can probably fill out that DQ form, altho it is too late for the judge to DQ the dog himself. I understand that particular dog had bitten a few handlers before that day...someone should have reported him a lot sooner. Either that or taken him out behind the barn early on.............

The AKC took away the BOB award. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
