[quote name='Kengai' post='71702' date='Jan 29 2007, 08:51 AM']>> a good day had to be spoiled by an inexperienced judge, here's hoping some lessons will be learned.[/quote]<<
Sorry Kirsty, but this isn't the case, the Judge, Dr Vladimir Urazhevski (Russia) - is The President of the Russian Kennel Club, he has bred and exhibited many, many breeds and made up many world and Russian Champions. He has judged in more than 20 countries, he now owns the largest kennel in Russia. he is not inexperienced.
The point was, that he was sat down as the Breeds entered the ring for BIS, (he was tiered after Judging all day) then the exhibitors were stood infront of him, he couldn't physically see the dogs. He then stood in the middle of the ring and simply pointed at dogs that were to remain, which was totally unfair as I said, the Akita hadn't been seen to move (there wasn't space), Debby only moved 5 steps, how can you asess movement from that?
I agree Maggie that the rules are different abroad, but we are been judged under KC rules, he should have been advised how it is done in the UK, the exhibitors sign the forms to abide by KC rules why not the Judge? in my opinion as Maggie suggested, something should have been written down for them to follow, or if you Judge overseas, you ask them how it is done?
