The really good judge looks at an animal in terms of it's virtues. It's =
about the "big picture" - you need the judge the entire package - not just =
develop an laundry list of an animals fault's. All animals have faults - =
a qualtiy animal has far more virtues than faults. =20
I took one of my sheltie bitches to a top sheltie breeder judge for =
evaluation and he evaluated her in terms of her virtues while acknowledgiin=
g areas that needed improvement. That's a real dog person in my opinion.
As a breeder, I never throw the baby out with the bathwater. If I have =
an animal that is outstanding in many ways but has something that needs =
improvement, I'm not going to discard that animal from my breeding =
program. I will, however, choose breeding partners for that animal that =
will help me breed away from the "fault".
