MJL: I understand your optimism; however, you weren't there to see the quality of bitches that was dismissed. It was a slap in the face to everyone attending AND exhibiting. The crowd, judges and handlers were in TOTAL shock. We are here, we were watching and it is an incredible disappointment for all. I thought that procedures were to remain the same for both sexes when judging. Why did her procedure change in dogs? There was absolutely no rhyme or reason to her judging procedures and decisions. A sad and disappointing day in St Louis. Kim Steele ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
