Even the best have made mistakes. There recently was a well known exhibitor that lost her skirt while in the ring, at a Specialty. Another got her earring caught in the (male) judges zipper.....I've had my dog slip out of it's lead and run to the other ring. Another well known handler's dog slipped out of it's lead. But, the dog was so well trained, it did the down and back without her. Just left her standing by the judge......I've had my dog decide it wanted to be a circus clown and went around the ring on it's hind legs (everyone laughed). Another one of mine decided it liked the bait on the ground, decided she was gonna have a picnic and layed down and started to dine and wouldn't move until she was done. So, have a good time, that's one of the reasons you're there. |
LOL.........Those stories are too funny. I dont think I could top losing my skirt in the ring or getting my earring caught in the judges zipper. LOL......Were they trying to get extra points
I am stll laughing picturing your dog walking around the ring on its hind legs. Thanks for the laughs. I love hearing these stories.
