Can you really do that? I mean send a copy of the standard to a judge if you feel they did a bad job? I got so upset at one loss, and I have lost plenty, that I wrote to akc about the judge. This judge went with a dog who had a high rear over my bitch. No matter how great I think she is, she at least has a proper topline. And to loose to a high rear was just too much for me. I never thought to send this judge a copy of the standard. Too late now, it happened 2 years ago, but I would have done it if I had thought of it.

Other times (and I mean this with no disrespect or sour grapes) I send the judge a copy of the breed standard because, IMHO, he or she didn't have a clue.
