Without looking in the Rules Book
I would say that this is an akc PROBLEM.
I would say that the AKC would not approve of a judge taking a dog away from
the handler. After all, THE AKC says things like " not holding the head if
the dog is being measured." " It is not necessary to determine soundness by
forcibly raising and dropping front or hindquarters or applying pressure 0n
the hock."
HERE IS THE PROBLEM ; IF you have any of these problem going on. Do 3 things
immediately.
-
1. Report the problem to the AKC Repts.
2. SEnd a letter to the AKC
3. STOP SHOWING UNDER THAT JUDGE THAT DAY.
IF EVERYONE DID THE SAME THING, CHANGES WOULD TAKE PLACE. TALKING ABOUT A JUDGE
DOES VERY LITTLE TO CHANGE ANYTHING. 20 LETTERS TO THE AKC REP AND THEN CC
THOSE TO THE THE AKC.
THAT SHOWD GET YOU SOME ACTION.

Hi John,
What does the PC or AKC say about a judge actually taking the lead away from
the handler? Isn't the handler supposed to have control over his dog at ALL
TIMES, and if a judge physically removes the leash from the handler's
possession, then he/she has at that point lost control of said dog? I can't
imagine why anyone would want to do it, or want to see a dog that would allow
it? Inquiring minds...
Take care
Kathy
