Exactly! No one wants to second guess any judge. Could have been more to what was posed in the scenario. One can only answer the question as it was written. In addition, I have seen this scenario played out way to often! To me, given everything else is correct, MOVEMENT rules. I have heard judges say this one had more breed type (prettier) for their reason for putting a dog up over a better mover. Again, "pretty is as pretty does!"
