just one comment...the judge's opinion, yes...but it is also an AKC rule that a dog that bites or attempts to do so MUST BE DISQUALIFIED. No room for opinion there...........the dog must be DQ'd on the spot. There are forms to fill out when that happens, too, so the dog can't be shown again.......... I understand the dog was excused the next day for "trying" again...is that so? If so, was he DQ'd then, or simply excused? There is a difference, and AKC makes that very clear. It's fine for a judge to overlook it...for that judge...but not for judges who are asked to judge the dog on later days..........that's why the rule was changed from "three times and out to ONE time........" No opinion allowed.
