US Judges vs Foriegn Judges

Based on the results posted on the Infodog website for the Black Russian Terriers at Del Valle today, one of the BRTs was excused for having an undershot bite (SUS).  This dog made it all of the way through it's AKC Championship AND Grand Championship without being disqualified.  It took a Judge from Russia, who knew the American Standard, to do it.  Did he do that because he was more aware of the fact that he was being watched?  Did he do it because he could not, in good conscience, do anything else?  

WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT OUR AMERICAN JUDGES?

From the AKC BRT Standard:
Disqualifications 
Nose color other than black
Two or more missing teeth
Any bite other than a scissors bite
Any coat color other than solid black or black with scattered gray hairs.

I wish more judges would refer back to the standard if they have a question.  BUT, if they are going to cite you for something, it had better be right.  A judge, that I like and respect, quoted an incorrect portion of a standard to me in the ring earlier this year.  He read it wrong.  He wouldn't go look when the three handlers BOB, BOS, and BOW all told him that he was quoting it incorrectly.  He just told us that there was not one 'correct' dog in the ring.  Well, if that was true why give us any ribbons at all?  So Judges, if you really think the dogs are not correct, stop rewarding them.  Remember, some of those people with the really bad dogs will get a photo with you, then advertise it.  If you don't want to be seen with a ribbon in your hand, standing next to that dog for all of eternity, don't give it a ribbon.

I have a story about that from Hutchinson, MN as well.  later. D

Our Newest Baby...

Thanks to Vickie Halstead for sharing her latest Bichon Frise litter with us.  Let's hope we can live up to her expectations, as a great show home, with this little guy.  A truly international litter, his mother Quiche is from Norway, and his sire Bentley, born in the US, winner of the 2010 US National Specialty, has also been a top dog in China.

Here he is at 9 weeks:

Cheeto
and the buff is already fading to a beautiful white

This was Vickie's 'cheese' litter.  While I think she was going for something more refined, this little guy is now known as "Cheeto."

Cheeto and Dave at 12 weeks

How cute are they?

The Havanese Standard

Beefs this week (OK again, still):
What is with the judges rewarding Havanese with their heads sculpted in.  It used to be backcombing and spraying, now it is razoring the hair in from the eyes back over the head.  If you hav a dog that has 8 inches of coat on it's tail and body, it's just amazing that the head hair is 1 to 3 inches long and just miraculously lays back, "That ain't right!"  It might look cool with some of the different colors of hair, and yeah, it's easier to show a Havanese when you don't have to worry about the hair falling into their face.  But if you are going to show a dog...no matter what breed...DO IT RIGHT.

We all know how I feel about corded coats, and even if I don't like it, it is in the standard, but groom to the standard, that is what it is there for.  There was a 'white' (and I use the color loosely) corded specials dog in Hutchinson, and I think Dave said it was in Mason City also.  Not corded on parts of the head.  Three different people asked me "What's wrong with that dog?"  and all noticed that it was matted (their words, not mine that time) everywhere except for part of the muzzel, chin, and head.   

FROM THE HAVANESE STANDARD:
Regarding trimming:
"and covered with a profuse mantle of untrimmed long, silky, wavy hair."  
"In either coat, minimal trimming of the hair at the inside corner of the eye is allowed for hygienic purposes only, not in an attempt to resculpt the planes of the head. Minimal trimming around the anal and genital areas, for hygienic purposes only, is permissible but should not be noticeable on presentation. The hair on the feet and between the pads should be neatly trimmed for the express purpose of a tidy presentation. Any other trimming or sculpting of the coat is to be so severely penalized as to preclude placement."  Judges that have had their own coated dogs should be able to recognize this in at least one top black and white dog that is lacking pigment around one eye. But either they don't know or don't care that it is incorrect.  How come those same judges always notice when one of mine has scratched out something or licked a foot red?  

Regarding Cords: 
"Corded coats will naturally separate into wavy sections in young dogs and will in time develop into cords. Adult corded dogs will be completely covered with a full coat of tassle-like cords."

 JUDGES - PLEASE JUDGE TO THE STANDARD, that's all we ask.

AM CAN CH THAT'S CUZ YA GOTTA KNOW JACK

A Belated Congratulations to Claire Boudreau and Havanese Jack!  
AM CAN CH That's Cuz Ya Gotta Know Jack
Claire finished the Canadian Championship on Jack a couple of weeks ago.

Jack's has a beautiful soft, silky coat.  In fact at one point we shared him with a long time, top winning, Komondor breeder who wanted to see she could really cord a soft, silky coat, as it says in the Havanese Standard.  She couldn't.  It wasn't 'frise' enough.  So here is Jack, an American and Canadian Champion in soft, silky coat...
