Keeping Dogs Out Of The Ring To Help Others

No and No. Have been asked in the past, just before entering the ring and felt very awkward walking into the ring but I beleive it's up to the judge to decide, not me!

I also think the more competition the better, hopefully the judge will see what is consistently correct in the breed, and not award a win to a dog when they don't understand the correct breed standard.

I think deciding to keep your own dogs out to assist others is one thing but asking another exhibitor to do it goes too far.

Not surprised you felt awkward Bullyfan - that would be downright intimidating.

I have done it myself so I answered yes and certainly don't have a problem doing it for people I know will appreciate it.
