So regarding Selena, in the words of today's judge, Liz Simon, "absolutely HATE her eyes. They are big round BICHON eyes." WTF????? Yes, when you examine any dog and pull their hair back you can pull their eyes open. Hell, I can do that to a person if I wanted, but when resting naturally a Havanese has a large almond shaped eye and a Bichon has a large round eye. And large is relative to the size of their head, not bugged out pug eyes.
What dog was Ms. Simon looking at today? I hardly think that Dr. Robert Smith would have put up a dog for Best of Breed at the US National Specialty with a fault like that, nor would any of the hundreds of other judges who have awarded this bitch. I guess Dave should have joined the other handlers who, after seeing how badly she judged the classes, didn't even bother to show their specials.
This judge is on the HCA Judges Education. That is very scary! Is she telling other judges that Selena is incorrect, or is she just teaching them incorrectly? Who knows? BUT WE ALL CARE.
