brambles 3,291 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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!!

keepitcovert 842 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited May 15, 2011 by keepitcovert Quote Link to post
baldockbanks courser 598 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 you can not judge a breed that has not got a breed standard! Nothing worse than the lurcher show crowd. At shows a rougth deerhound x will always beat a smoth saluki lurcher? prejudice and a joke. Iv got both xs and wouldnt show either. Quote Link to post
