"There are many more judges outside the ring than inside." If you have a nice male, and you want people to see him, this is your venue, especially if you are looking for that great male to breed to your lovely bitch! That is true - IF you get the opportunity to view these animals - at this past National, I and many others did not. Nor did I get the chance to see my own dog - who I have only been able to see shown a handful of times because of him being so far away.
