I do have a question. During the showing of Yorkies, One of the handlers the one that won 1st place. While he was walking with the Yorkie. The Yorkie stopped walking so he dragged it. And he got 1st place. Why and don't they get marked for that. Now that happened a couple of times. That just doesn't seem far. There where other Yorkies there that I thought should of gotten
1st, they walked beautiful, stood on the table beatiful. I am so confussed. I don't understand.
I hope someone here can exsplain to me |
I liked the suggestion to see if there is a friendly person or two to answer some questions for you.
You could visit the AKC website and they have some articles on conformation showing that can explain how the competition works.
I also agree that the judges give some wriggle room to dogs especially puppies that may misbehave a bit in the ring.
I too am learning about the showring and have had fun watching the competitions and trying to figure out which dog is going to win!.
