Melanie is aware of the competition in the area. We have some top handlers that show and can win with anything with 4 legs. Now, add a new handler with a yorkie with undocked tail, and it will make it even harder to win. The person from Canada that said her dog got 4th place. I don't show to get 4th place, esp if there are only 4 dogs in the class. Sometimes it happens, but that is not the goal. Unfortunately having the best dog means nothing to some judges.
