I was not present at these shows...so this is secondhand information...

Mrs. Nancy S. Hafner DQ Puppy in the 6-9 Month Puppy Bitch class for the Head not tan enough on 10/20/2007.

Mr. William E. Usherwood...DQ 4 dogs everything from too light in the blue to too dark. Would have to look for the date...

Mr. Raymond Filburn - DQ a 12 month bitch (Open Class) for being "too dark" in the blue. Fellow exhibitors said that the dog had obviously broken blue. This dog took WB the next day

I have a light female that turned 1 at the end of December...prior to the addition of the DQ she received 2 points and one BOB over 4 adult dogs at 8 months old...I was so thrilled...since the DQ was added she has not been DQ...but looked over imo...she has lost to a bad topline and a crippled dog who was not that much darker than she is...but pro handled. I agree get the cake right first, then get the icing perfect! (Just wish the judges agreed with that too!!!) We all want that healthy and sound dog with the perfect head and coat...but that is why breeding is so chanllenging...lol...sooner or later it all comes together!
