I stewarded today at our local all-breed show......there was a single entry for Bull Terriers....the man handling the dog was attending his first dog show and did not have a clue what he was doing....It was a class dog ..so it wnt First...winners dog and best of breed. after he showed the judge asked me if he had time to spend about 5 minutes talking to the owner. He explained he had a very nice dog(which he did) and how to show the dog in the ring and what speed to show the dog.....he then suggested that the owner pull up one of the many chairs and watch what goes on in the ring during the next 2 breeds.......they were about 12 dogs each. I saw him pull up the chair watch two dogs , fluff up his BOB Rosette...look at the ring really quickly get up and walk away........the judge turned to me and said why did I bother....maybe because the dog was so nice.....if I had known the owner was that dumb I would have just given him his ribbon and let him make an ass of himself until he learns............ the dogs owner was very lucky that he had a "good judge" that cared for the breed and the art of showing What is wrong with people Judy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
