In AKC shows most of the judges will go completly over your dog to feel their structure , and I have seen blow on their coats, place dogs together on the table, push on their head/topknot, or have them go back out and back several times to decide. It can be tough, but I am glad that they go to such lengths. |
Tina, I showed under two judges Saturday that actually checked the toy dogs for LP while they were doing the hands over on the table. First time I have ever seen that and I asked my judge if that was what she was doing and I think it was great. Of course, they always check for structure, front end, hips, shoulders and all that, but to actually see a judge check for LP was amazing. All the toy dogs got checked.
