Also she was told to never breed this bitch. Now, besides the outrageous lack of consistency in the two rings, why would someone new ever want to come back after being spoken to that way... I was at a loss for words after this phone call... I didn't know what to tell her... ************************************************ The judge that can withhold first place on any animal that is their choice, only has to state in their book lack of merit. By giving the 2nd place ribbon it keeps that animal from returning in for Winners class. The judge was out of line for telling her the animal the animal did not deserve to be in the ring and certainly should not be passing judgement at to whether this animal should be bred. The judge is there to judge the animals and if he did not want to give her a blue ribbon that is fine but that is where it should have ended. I would tell her to file a complaint with the ACK judges department on this judge.
