Show #2: handler whose animal loses in close competition in winners to another animal removes the leash from his animal and stuffs a toy in the dog's mouth and shows her that way during competition for reserve. Show #3: handler whose dog was beaten in the class tells the judge that the other dog hasn't beaten him all weekend - giving the judge info that he shouldn't have and disadvantaging the class winner in WD competition. =================================================================== Laurie Very simply, 1 and 2 would've been excused out of the ring. These judges chose to pay them no attention. # 3, same handler said that to me, told him he should count his blessings.....LOL funny (not)....they all criticized each other, but didn't think they themselves did anything wrong.....<G> Ileana **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
