This judge CLEARLY was "measuring " against the leg of her pants to determine correct?? height. Again funny thing , the dog that went up was OVERSIZE. No measuring is not allowed, but it goes on, they think subtley, but it's really not that slick. We have all seen judges do it, and no one says anything, lolol...what I find funny is that with all the "non , but yes really measuring" that can go on....the judges don't get it right. I saw a judge call for a yardstick at a specialty in the Northwest a few years ago...personally I think the "measuring" that they do...is much ado about nothing, they would be better served if they paid attention to other, greater issues in the ring.
