This is the thing about this loose leash temperament test that concerns me.    
We are
asking our judges to be completely at the mercy of the dog's character and with 
a
handler with a dangling LOOSE leash that he cannot possibly jerk back in time to
save the face of a judge that is required to approach the dog and check it's 
teeth.
NOT A PROBLEM with a sound dog.......but we are asking this to be the test for
their temperament, and therefore possibly an unsound animal.    I have seen 
judges
bitten in the face with dogs being held and controlled by the handler.
This is NO CONTROL!!
