BlankI've had my experiences with many different breed judges. I once =
had a beautifully moving bitch. She was 22.5" One time a judge told me =
my bitch was too small to herd sheep. Another time I'm right in line =
with another bitch that was 27" tall with my same girl. The large bitch =
made mine look even smaller than ever. And the judge gave it to the =
large bitch. The next show my bitch wins over the large one. You can get =
quite confused at times. Then I'm showing my dog. He wins WD first show. =
The second show a dog limping beats him! I'm trying to learn here????
