I think that's what's happening here under COVID protocols. I just asked the judge who ignored me, so I asked again and he responded “if you want” then he told me that I didn’t need to put him on the table. Oh well, the judge was about 100 years old and clearly didn’t want to stand there in the rain. Don’t blame him I suppose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it's a shame you got a grumpy rough judge and a not helpful steward .. but so glad the other competitors in your breed were helpful. And what a shame about the weather. And reading your description, it's a tribute to Chase's temperament and your training and handling, that Chase didn't seem to mind too much .. that's a relief, because rough handling by the judge can really have a big impact on some pups. I'd be so cross,... there's no excuse for it with baby puppies. Luckily most of the judges I've seen have been really nice with the youngsters, handling gently. So glad it hasn't put you or Chase off showing. We'll look forward to the next episode ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my competitors commented that she doesn’t show her dogs until they are 7 months old for that reason but thankfully Chase is very easy going and although he was slightly taken aback he didn’t seem too bothered. I was annoyed because there was no need for it but I am super proud of my little boy and feel very lucky to have a baby with such an amenable temperament. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
