LMAO. I was just using a Toy judge as an example... Though I have had a few judges tell me in the past that they didn't use a puppy because they "THOUGHT" it might be too big - unfortunately, judges with a lot of "clout" and not worth my time - the last time I heard that, the dog I was showing went on to win 3 five point majors from the BBEx class (and only topped out at 23" tall - DQ is 24" tall)...
