I ignore those directions ************************************************************************** I don't know where you are judging and who is telling you this. I have been judging for 10 years have done many, many all breeds and I have never been told to put a better dog for the group. NOT ONCE in 10 years so you must be judging for the wrong clubs. I think when judging the best animals needs to win no matter what ring that animal is in whether it be AB or Specialty. One should not try to do the Group judging unless they are standing in the middle of the Group ring and they are the judge that will point the finger.
