I think, in an instance like that, I would be more inclined to place an entry
2nd and not allow them to come back for Winners...it still gives you an
opportunity
to talk to the exhibitor. In essence, you are telling them that they are not
of enough quality to be considered for CH. points that day.
Many years ago, a specialty judge from our area (Portland) withheld ribbons from
a puppy bitch class and made quite a show out of the situation, humilating all
involved. It was one young man's first show....his puppy bitch was spayed by
the
next week. The other two bitches did very well after they matured.....one
became
an Am. Can. Ch. with Am./Can. CD and ROM/C....and the other became a Can. Ch.
and CD.
It is walking a fine line....to try to give an honest opinion and not
discourage at the
same time. Every situation is different.

it is to critique judges without having seen the show. I respect judges who
withhold ribbons when they should. I have seen too many judges award blue
ribbons to dogs just because they walked into the ring. > > A few years ago a
very nice man brought his pet pup to local shows. He was a nice sound dog and
had no disquailifying faults. Often he was the only dog in his class. He ended
up with a handfull of blue ribbons and was very proud of it. When he finally
got to the Open class a judge finally told him the truth - after he asked why
he was no longer getting placed. He became furious that people had not been
honest before and I have not seen him at any dog event since. Had the first
judge said "nice sound dog and I bet he is your best friend. Why don't you be
fair to him and get involved with an activity where you two would have a chance
to excell instead of conformation showing where he is destined to bring up the
rear of the class? He is too nice and sound a dog to be forced to compete in a
venue he in which he is not able to succeed once he gets competition." > >
