Aha, my thoughts on this "mess" exactly. Thank you, thank you, it is so nice that a judge does have a "choice" and this "choice" under this situation is the one with which to go, I think anyway. As a "final" it's difficult for me to even fathom any getting to that point with the "faults" listed. Of course, this, as with everything else in our sport loving world: is just MY opinion.

Lets say that you were judging at a show, and you have finally narrowed your pick to winners dog down to three dogs.. All of the dogs were the same size,color type,and had wonderful sidegaits.. Here are the faults of the dogs: Dog #1 has a roached back, Dog #2 has dragging toes and floppy years, Dog #3 has a bad back. Who would your winners dog be? ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
