Then, the judge needs to take the time to look gaiting, loose lead, free stand,
stacked...plus his hands on should tell him lay of shoulder, back, etc.
Why only 90 seconds of "handled" handling? So, if you've got that cow hock
straightened when the judge looks at you, you're ok?
I really don't get it. But thanks to all of you who are trying to get it
through my thick skull!

If the judge had 5 - 10 minutes to evaluate each dog, he or she could
probably make an accurate evaluation of each animal no matter how
well or poorly it was shown. As it is, your dog may only be looked at
for 90 seconds total - if he is pacing during the 10 seconds the judge
sees him gait and standing cow-hocked for the few seconds the judge
glances down the line of stacked dogs, that can be enough to rule
you out even if your dog looks fabulous the rest of the time. A top
handler doesn't let that happen. A really competent owner-handler
might never let that happen either, but if you mess up, you can waste
quite a few entry fees on classes you might have won.
