From the AKC judges Conformation Dog Show Judges book.
An attack is defined as a bite or an attempt to bite anyone, including its
own handler.
DISQUALIFICATIONS for ATTACKING are very SERIOUS and different from other
disqualifications. The failure to appropriately address a potentially
dangerous dog compounds the vulnerability of future judges.
I think this proves true in this case since the dog was PUT OUT of the ring
the next day. Lucky the dog was not injured by this dog.
If the show Chairman puts what happen in his report and he should I am
certain he will hear from AKC.
We had a dog bite a handler at one of our shows. The handler refused to
file charges. As show Chairman I did not hold a bench show since he refused to
file charges. I got a call from AKC the Tuesday after our show and was
told I had 5 days to hold a bench show committee and fax results to them. We
did by conference call and suspended the owner of the biting dog. AKC did
not fine us because we acted immediately after they contacted me. I can tell
you from now on any incidents we have at our shows we will hold a bench
and take proper action. I don't care if involves a judge or an exhibitor they
will be benched.

A dog doesn't have to actually bite the judge or the handler or any other
human, either...just attempt it.
The dog MUST be DQ'd.
Those are AKC rules.
While there are occasions when someone may think a dog tried to bite and
the judge thinks otherwise, in this case, from what I am hearing from all
kinds of people all over the country, there was no doubt here...the dog
tried to bite, and did so
more than once with the same judge. I wasn't there...just sayin'...this
is what I'm hearing, and I've been hearing it since
it happened. Apparently there was no doubt...and the dog should have
been
DQ'd...AND put out of the ring..........
It had also better be in the report the show secretary sends to AKC,
because
I'm sure AKC is going to hear about this, if
only because so very many people are talking (and writing) about
it.........the judge is sure to get a letter from AKC about it, asking why
the dog was not disqualified.......

its an AKC rule. Any dog that attempts to bite the judge or another dog or
a handler in the ring must be disqualified. Any exhibitor at any show may
report this to AKC and I have done so in the past. My own personal rule is
if a judge fails to do this they never get a nomination or an entry from
us.
