Lee, I have told this story(true) a number of times over the years. My(late) husband was an AKC licensed handler and did do a fair amount of match judging. At a specialty match he examined a dog and told the handler that the dog only had one testicle and that was a disqualifying fault. The owner/handler replied " Is he doing that again?" then proceeded to give him a hearty slap on the back, and then asked that the dog be re-examined. There were then two testicles. I don't remember if the dog placed, as match classes in the 70's were huge. Neither one of us ever forgot that unusual happening.
