That is not the first time Dermot has done that. Yet he is the number 2 dog all breeds, so obviously he doesn't do it all the time.

He shied away, time and time again until the judge moved on to other things. I am curious, how much emphasis is placed on this behavior at this level of competition? Was that an automatic - you are out and no longer considered or is this a more forgivable behavior in a Toy breed? I know what would have happened if it was in our GSD ring .... and the gasps would have been heard all the way across the Tapanzi bridge. <G> Dania ===== -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
