I also want to note that I saw an instance of great sportsmanship this
weekend. The GSDC of Southern NH had a junior handling competition. There were
two
juniors, and the older boy, Chris, who was in Open Intermediate, lost in the
Best Junior competition to the younger girl, Brenna, who was in Junior
Novice. Chris went over to Brenna and sincerely congratulated her. As Chris
walked
out of the ring, Sean Conboy reached out and shook Chris's hand, and said
"Good sportsmanship there, pal". Not only was the good sportsmanship good to
see in the ring, bravo to Sean for taking the opportunity to reinforce it!

Laurie,
This is an excellent post! I think it would be so valuable to get some tips
from judges on how they would handle situations like this. When faced with
these kind of behaviors suddenly and in the middle of the ring, a judge must
feel enormous pressure trying to figure out what to do, and figure it out
fast. Thinking about how to handle things before they happen, or even
realizing
that things actually can and do happen, makes it so much easier to decide what
to do when you are faced with it. For new judges, for judges that have had
this happen in their ring and not known what to do, or for judges who may be
faced with this in the future, some suggestions on what others would do might
be a tremendous help. Thanks Laurie.
