When they say 'Move them slow' do they know what slow is?
When they say "Loose Lead" do they really mean: "Show him like a poodle, and no need for the front feet to touch the ground."
It is no wonder you see so many discouraged people at dog shows. Especially the newer people. Win or lose if the judge is consistent and rewards people who give them what they ask for you can leave the ring thinking "Crap, I can't believe I lost." or when the judge puts up the opposite of what they ask for the response for others is "What the heck were they thinking? I'm not showing to this judge again if they don't even recognize what they are asking for."
From the Havanese Standard:
Because correct gait is essential to breed type, the Havanese should be presented at natural speed on a loose lead.
Doesn't say anything about running while strung up on a resco!
Not Just My Opinion.
