Tell me about it! I've been in the field for 27 years! Luckily I don't have to deal with those people very often!!! The people that I work with are more intellectually challenged than sick though!

And his legs are too short.


I think you have something backwards there.

You're right, I did get it backwards. I realized that after I logged off. The sire of the pup I'm keeping won many awards as a show dog. Mainly because he has a very long muzzle when compared to a lot of other Cavaliers. The judges like that.

The judges like that.

What judges like seems to vary a lot, though. Personally, I consider the whole thing complete woo-woo.

[ConcinusMan]

Well, in this case, there were many King Charles spaniels and Cavaliers in the show. They tended to favor Cavaliers that were less like the king charles standards. In other words, longer muzzles, and a distinct round spot of color on top of the head, among other things. But yeah, it is a bunch of "woo-woo"

[snakehill]

Not a bunch of "woo-woo" if you happen to be in the show ring!

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, then it's a bunch of "woof woof"

It's to them, too. At least to some extent. They do seem to like comparing what judge A had to say about their dog, compared to what judge B had.

I try to annoy them as often as possible by asking for the specs for their particular breed.

[snakehill]

You have the right to ask! I don't blame you!

[ConcinusMan]

It is very subjective. After all, they are "judging"

[snakehill]

You're right! But they do have follow the breed "standard"!
