I have said this for a long time. I seldom have any idea what I am going to do when I enter the ring, and as some say, I have no idea what I am doing when I judge. I have often put up a dog or bitch if you had asked me about before the show, I would have told you that I didn't much like that animal. Often a dog will have a great day, and win under me. I have been surprised with whom I put up, when I learn who it is. Animals can look different from outside the ring, and can be very different when inside your ring. I enjoy watching my judging if no one else does or not. I feel the same way about my posts.
