We had a huge winning BT in WA that won many best in shows (20 according to his profile). He was well known around every group and everyone loved him. He stood out as one of those once in a lifetime dogs. He was top dog in WA there for a while wasn't he? I wish I had gotten to see him in the ring! Yes there was Aust Gr Ch Honhazsta Ring Quest never had the chance to see him in the flesh

my husband feels that the judging and showing has lost its way as a breeder/exhibitor the reason why you breed and show are to improve the breed if possible, then you take what you have breed to a dog show to show what you have breed and to see how you stack up to others, and to the breed standard, and to socialize with other breeders to learn and develop more about the breed, as you never stop learning but when dogs win due to whose holding the lead or how the dog was handled, makes you think do i breed to what the judges want ,or do i stick to the breed standard ,thats where the judges need to really know there standard and judge fairly as if they are not careful people will ask them selves do i breed to the judges standard or do i stick to the actually breed standard as people do get kennel blind as then when you lose to a better dog (been judged fairly ) you can then look and learn to breed a better dog next time thats how you improve the breed thats why we enjoy the specialty shows as we get a critique on the dogs (feed back from the judge )and the feed back you get from others is very helpful as we are all interested in the same thing BREEDING BETTER DOGS let me ask you this as well for some breeds it is near impossible to win a best in show due to the breed of a dog which is sad for instance how often has a bull terrier won a best in show at a all breeds

the whole show scene could do with a shake up other wise it is only going to get worse

I am a new exhibitor and new to my breed as well and this would be very useful! I believe this is how the JS is judged in Japan Kind of on the above topic, I would love to get more actual feedback from judges. One of the main reasons we show is to get a judge's opinion on our dog and how closely it meets the standard. Every now and again you come across a judge who will explain their reasoning for putting certain dogs up, or provide some feedback on your dog, but really it's not that often. Me too. I would love feedback from the judges!! I come from a background of showing cattle (at a school level) and the judge always gives a critique and reasons why he/she has picked their say top 4. I would love that in dog showing. At least than you could learn what you or your dog were doing wrong or right according to that particular judge. :D As a newbie to showing that would be wonderful :D At specialty shows they do critiques which are brilliant we mainly stick to the specialty show scene these days things are alot different

thanks sway wasn't sure as the road on the way between Wagga and there is blocked and was told at a horse supply shop that it was off Hi All, I have just spoken to Lorriane Meyers (Show Secretary) unfortunately The Rock Show has had to be cancelled. The judges had got to Albury and could not proceed. Lorraine would appreciate this message to passed on to as many as possible. Thanks for that my source was right the road is flooded

THANKS Max it feels good all that hard work with Jed has paid off just gotta work on PIP LOL...

Yes we do have some bragging to do - Brasshead Jedi Knight - SATURDAY results challenge dog and SUNDAY - BOB and BEST IN GROUP and best news is that he got ROM points under Bull Terrier specialist judge A Reading!! Plus the biggest brag is that Jed got his Champ title exciting times ahead for Jed as he is starting to mature!! My girl Bullroy Cher Ching (PIP) did a good job too she came home with BOB and minor in group on saturday and RU BOB sunday not bad for a 8 month old bitch that has only been to a handful of shows... Pip brought home ROM points too ;)

I voted yes as long as the judge ,Judges the dog and not the person holding the lead or as you say empty lead, maybe in days to come we will see a panel of Judges at shows and the dogs win on a point system which is handed to you at the end so you can see the feedback on your dog
