I was unable to find anything, but it does seem that naked judging would not be proper. The ruling on what to do when a judge is replaced would be from the AKC. I do think some cancel since the entries are so small, that they don't want the club to have to pay the costs for an entry of seven or eight. Also, the judge's pool is getting so old, that health problems are a factor. Maybe we should just not name judges and when you get to the show, see who is in the center of the ring. It might make it more fun. You pay your dime and you take your chance.
