Dog show yesterday. Maddy
Dog show yesterday. Maddy was competing in the puppy classes. Did you see "Best In Show"? It's worse. Personally, I think Maddy looks like a classic Old English Sheepdog, and has great looks. Not overtly "genetically engineered" like the American Kennel Club seems to want.
Anyhow, we go to the show (Maddy's breeder entered her, and we thought it would be a good idea). Most of the people there were really nice, helpful and interesting to talk to. Anyhow, we were told that a handler had been arranged to show her, but we turn up and there hasn't. I really wanted Nabila to show her, so I pressurised her to do it (hey! I thought it would be good!) Some of the other handlers gave Nabila great advise, and the first "Sweepstakes" competition went ahead. Nabila did great! Maddy didn't get placed, but, like I said, the genetically engineered dogs won.
Then we waited for a couple of hours for the next competition. This one was "Conformance". Again, Nabila and Maddy did great, but Maddy did some barking and jumping up (Hey! She's a puppy - what do you expect? Some of the others did the same...) Anyhow, apparently the Judge told Nabila in the middle of the ring (I couldn't hear) to "Get some practice before coming to a Dog Show again". HEY, FUCK YOU, YOU JUMPED UP LITTLE HITLER! She was lucky it wasn't me doing the handling.

I think your language is uncalled for , I to wanted to smack a judge for not putting up my girl (toy Poodle ) but lets try to keep come class in the sport of dogs And some judges do try to help so do try to put your attitude aside and and listen and maybe just maybe if your dog is good enough you will win
