When I get beat and I think that I should have won ( we've all been there) I really would rather the judge say nothing at that moment because I am not emotionally ready to hear it, and the judge may be right on why I got beat....its like asking a girl out on a date...she says no...well I never wanted to hear why not......of course, years later, now I know why not...lol....FB RivendellP <rivendellp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: When you ask a judge...... If it's not nice comments, say nothing at all! Gary Paul adds... I agree Gary. I find that those who have been doing this for a while already know and most that are new aren't likely to hear. Plus the fact...it's impossible to critique a dog in the few seconds it takes to hand out a ribbon. If it's after a show...that could be different but I don't ever offer...like you said...especially if it isn't good.
