Selena's Eyes & HCA Judges Education

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.

BICHON:

US Coton de Tulear Club - AKC FSS OPEN SHOW - Friday December 13, 2013

That damn Dave!  He called me and got me all excited - tough to do these days.  He called and said that Dudley got his 3rd Best in Show - NOT!!!  Dudley did get a Group 1, shown by his breeders at the AKC Open Show today in Orlando.  There were 21 GBGVs entered.  I wish I could have seen that.  Probably the biggest entry ever at an AKC show, maybe any show, in the US.  
THANK YOU JUDGE MARJORIE TUFF
Special Thanks to Corey Benedict and Brent Humphrey for breeding and handling such a great dog!
Oh yeah, and there's that thing about them being really neat people too!

Mid-Florida Havanese Club, Friday December 13, 2013

Well, here it is again.  A judge who, in no uncertain terms, says "LOOSE LEAD" then rewards the dog who was strung up so tight that it actually tripped 3 times on the down and back!

Like I have said before:  JUDGES, ASK US TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT WHY ASK IF YOU ARE GOING TO REWARD THE HANDLERS WHO DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU INSTRUCTED?

IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOSE OF US WHO DO OUR BEST TO COMPLY WITH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.  OF COURSE, MAYBE THE OTHERS CANNOT COMPLY, (maybe their dogs won't move on a loose lead) BUT THAT BRINGS ME BACK TO "WHY REWARD THEM?"

Who video taped the show today?
