>I saw every specials get a loose lead temp evaluation.......... >AMY SAFDIR As did I. I thought all three judges correctly executed the test. No stalking, no staring, no thumping the dogs, no hugging the dog. It was refreshing to see. (Seems to me Carmen has modified his procedure from the last time I saw him judge a national). If only all judges performed the temperament test like this I wouldn't complain about this test being done on impressionable puppies.
