No clapping, no nothing. Boring!!!!! I'd rather clap, scream, run, whatever!! For my dog or a dog I love, doesn't matter. Sharon Allbright Oh Gosh, me too! I have a friend who shows malinois and I am told NOT to clap when I watch judging. I wanted to clap for the puppy sweeps...NO! For the class winners...NO! For the specials...NO! Finally, I was "allowed" to clap for the veterans. How boring!
