Now i have shown Dave many a time but this time he did something a little different. Dave added an oral critique of his 4 class winners after every class. I thought it was very well received by the exhibitors and handlers. It served as open eduction for what he saw and was helpful for everyone to understand why he placed dogs as he did. It was also a reflection of Dave's confidence in his opinion in that he was willing to share it openly with all the ringside. I would like to see more and more judges offer that sort of critique at ringside when the dogs and exhibitors are all there. Some might have to be given a Megaphone as they don't have the advantage of Dave's lungs. I've had that happen at Specialties and it was fine, but the time constraints of an all breed show would prohibit it.
