<img src='http://www.shihtzuclub.co.uk/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cheers:' /> Well done to Debbie and Summer on you BP & BOB, to Carol and Jr on your first show, and to all the winners.
Reading the notes on the foreign judges alot of the judging is done this way for groups and BIS at national and international level over in Europe, I once asked a judge how they can do this and was told if a dog is constructed correctly it will move correctly and its what the judge likes, they also shake your hand while the whole class is standing before class winners are pulled out, and some exhibitors think they have won and in fact they are thanking you for your entry and dismissing you,
But I have also been under English Judges in Europe who have judged the English way much to the confusion of the foreign exhibitors, not all foreign judges judge this way as the majority of them go over the dog very well.
Maybe when shows are asking foreign judges to judge that they send a letter explaining the judging system here and maybe avoid what happened. Also the stewards should have stepped into help so he could understand the system abit more.
You have to feel sorry for the society who must have put alot of effort into the show and spent alot of money doing just that, and so up setting for the exhibitors who stayed behind not just to do the BIS but supporting fellow exhibitors
