Sure it happens.....sometimes while the class win picture is being taken, the judge will get some unsolicitied advice as to how many pts. the dog needs, or if going winners will finish it, etc. Y'know, tho......I don't think it's just in the dog show world....rudeness is everywhere in our society today. My mom used to say that people who use the word "class" usually don't have any, but I'll risk it and say that our general population doesn't much care about class or finesse anymore. But then, I'm getting old and out-of-it so what do I know? LOL. Jamie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
