How about this critique. The judge is one of those many many judges that people feel is incompetent. He/she critiques your male and does a bad job and says your dog has short comings that he really does not have. Now all the people who know your dog know this not accurate but the person who lives on the other side of the state who was going to breed to your dog reads this published critique and changes his mind and goes elsewhere. You lose the bitch owner loses and maybe the dog world loses a good one. You can expand on this theme to include all the other possibilities of a poor critique that is not accurate.
