I think its a bit of a slap in the f*****g chops when you arrive at some of these shows which are arranged well in advance only to discover the judge is an excuse for a judge,and even I can pick the winning dog because I know what type he or his mates prefer!!

Had a mate who used to judge at shows took no end of stick for placing dogs that had scars, as he told the whingers im judging on what i think is a true working dog not on what looks pretty, and beleive me that guy knew his dogs. Strange how he was never asked again. :thumbdown:
