As a new person showing a German Shepherd, what should you do in the ring if a judge appears to be scaring a puppy, I don't have a puppy yet but thought I would ask. I live in the country and I'm by myself a lot, I don't want my dog to be going up to just anyone. I am showing a 4yr old girl who I'm not sure would back down in some of the cases mentioned, I show all breed and I handle her myself, so wondered what should you do, I watch my judges ahead of time, if it seems like a bad situation do you just not put your dog in.
