You make a good point.  I witnessed just such a thing with a class of Canaan 
dogs.....The judged had two or three class winners but gave no points.  The 
question from the exhibitors was, "well if my dog was so bad why did the judge 
give him a blue ribbon in the first place".  
 
Either way it's not a pleasant situation for anyone.

IMO withholding a ribbon is mean spirited particularly when there is only one 
dog in the class. If the judge wants to make a statement, I'd rather see 
him/her say something directly to the person about the quality of the dog 
rather than make a public spectical of the individual and their dog in front of 
everyone.

Now, withholding points is another story

I disagree with you on this one. I don't think it is making a statement I think 
it is keeping the dog out of the Winners class. A blue ribbon is the dogs 
tickets to winners and if you are giving him the blue then in my opinion you 
make a fool of yourself as a judge if you withhold the points. If it is good 
enough for a blue to come back in winners then it should certainly be good 
enough for the points since you already confirmed him to return to winners 
class.
