I just have to share a fun story. I was judging a rather large class BOB Australian Shepherds. A young man (8 to 10 yr old). Brought his dog up for the exam. I then asked him to go out and back for me. As he was rapidly coming back I held up my hand for him to slow down and stop. He came to an abrupt stop and slapped my hand giving me the HIGH FIVE and grinning from ear to ear. The spectators all exploded in laughter!! He then raced his dog to the end of the line , where I heard his Mother say "WHAT DID YOU DO????". Gotta Love it!!! He made my day!!! That is what makes judging FUN.
