Sometimes if there is only one dog in the class the judge will have you go straight to the table. That is why it is very important to get to ring side a little early so you can observe how the judge is doing things, they are all different. Most importantly, if you are not sure what the judge wants you to do then just ask. Most judges are very understanding but some can be cranky. At one show I attended the judge would not allow anyone to use a toy in the ring. I thought that was a bit weird. |
Well, that's good to know! I was really stressing about that "L" thing! Good tip about getting there early too. I will do that! Thanks!
