bignoel 14 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 a lot of lakie x russells threw cracking russell type looking dogs with jack russell colours in the show ring with out DNA if the owner says he's a russell .and he looks like a russell what can the judge do but put the best dog forward . but if a dog/bitch comes into a russell class and then appears in a fell class the judge should put him out .as he can only be one type.and should be pointed out if judge misses this.

dehoffmeister 2 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 the only place to give a dog a rossette is after it has been to ground and faced its quarry.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lilvixen 26 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Makes no difference what your dog looks like. It's all down to how well you know the judge, also helps if you gave him a lift to the show, he owes you a favour, used his dog, bought a pup off him... you see where I'm going here...
