It’s may be funny for you, but for me it’s just a bit different…
For me “different” is not necessarily bad!
Seeing such a good reviews from the very reputable handlers in Europe I doubt myself!
I don’t believe that is it wrong just because it’s a bit different!

Sorry I never meant to offend you with my humor. Which I, and it seems I am not the only one, seem to have done. I think it is strange that he is on the floor, I said in my previous post that I think it would be easier and much more comfortable to judge from a standing position. But you are the one who started this thread, and if you didnt want comments, why did you bring it up? Just curious.

Why? Probably because I care!?

I think he should've looked @ the Yorkies on a table and then have them go around the ring and kneel to judge their movement!! I think his kneeling down gives him a different prospective to watch the dogs up close and see how their movement is as they pass him!! When I used to show my Chinese Shar-Pei we had a judge @ the Red Rose Classic in Lancaster that would kneel as the group passed him!! The Individuals he stood and judged!! I thought it was different but whatever angle works for the Judge, It's his ring to judge how he sees fit!!

I think your comments were fine, and you were very polite.

Now THAT I understand. See, sometimes ya gotta break it down so us simple folk can understand the concept! I am new to all this and dont know really anything about competition so I'm learnin here. Cut me a little slack please...

It makes perfect sense why he'd be in that position watching them go by.

I'd never seen that either though.

That is very interesting. My only concern was, wouldn't it be hard to see the topline and the gate from looking down....but, I guess he does appear to getting pretty close to the floor to get his view..

it just seems like he probably makes the yorkie and the handler/owner feel pretty comfortable from that perspective....kinda like he really likes being right there with the dogs..\


It would be nice to hear a more "experienced" perspective, than me that is for sure.....I have only been involved in showing for 3 years.
