Dania, Dave did it at the end of each class. Very short and concise, not too formal but for the crowd to hear. I think it is most effective at the end of each class. I thought it was well received. regards, Bill DaniaKarloff@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 7/9/2006 7:58:38 P.M.

When Rinke did it it took no longer than 5 minutes per class. With the entries falling these days i don't think time should be an issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think this is a great idea and an excellent way of educating the exhibitors and the general public. Although I had it somewhere in the back of my mind that AKC frowned upon it. And, I am curious about the mechanics of how it is done. Does the judge critique each individual class at the end of the class? Or is it an overall critique at the end of the show? I think I would prefer the former but I am curious as how it is generally done. Dania ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
