If they don't put them on a loose lead I assume the dog would fall apart on a loose lead and they rather lose looking good then lose because their dog fell apart. And they don't win, that simple Lee Brown ------------------------------------- My bitch Riata went down to the Oregon specialty looking absolutely awful. She looked potty, and had no attitude. (Little did we know she would die within a year from heart failure)...BTW, I was not the breeder... Anyway, to make a long story short, (I hate the shortened phrase "Long story short")...the judge asked for a loose lead. No one gave it except my handler. I was not there to double, the bitch did not feel like pulling out in her usual way, and the judge spun around and pointed at her for WB!!! When asked about it later, he declared my handler was the only one that did as he had asked. Sometimes they mean it, LOL.
