Hi I was surprized when Evan reported that for Best Puppy that the 6-9 puppy dog and 6-9 puppy bitch and the 9-12 puppy bitch were in the ring - but the 9-12? puppy dog was not shown.? I thought everyone in the past had deceided that all four puppies were shown no matter if they won WD or RWD or WB or RWB because the judge was different for Best Puppy and no one had defeated anyone under the new judge (is that clear?)? Normally if the same judge was judging the?puppy that won would be shown and not the other one of the same sex because the winning puppy had already defeated the other puppy.?? Was the 9-12 male puppy told it couldn't show and if so why?? Or did they choose not to show - which I could understand after going RWD? . . . Just wondering . ..
