Years ago I was at an all breed show and I stood and watched the the Alaskan Malamutes. There were 2 dogs in the class. I could see the judge's face as both these animals gaited around the ring. She was horrified at the quality that was presented to her. So what she did was give them a second and a third place ribbon & withheld the first place. Both exhibitors were really angry, but nothing was said to the judge. She got her point across loud & clear. I was really embarrassed for both of them.
