Yes, a well made dog can navigate a smaller ring...and yes, it is much more 
thrilling to see one move with full extension in a big ring like the 
National ring--
   BUT...if you need a big ring to judge movement, you need educating..  And 
there is the question of type... which doesn't change from ring to 
ring.........but then, we will always have with us those who know neither 
type nor movement.........some of those are exhibitors, some are breeders, 
and yes, some are judges.  AND, what's more, all three of those categories 
are composed of human beings...which means that some days they are a little 
"off," or even a little "put off."
