hector 1 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 most judges can pick the dog that will win the show if they have a look around before juding starts thats what they like there dog to look like its up to them they are the judge i know a lot of people who judge and you must pick the one that fits the stamp of the dog you are juding as long as it has the conformation to go with it atb hector Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As they say Judges decision is final you will never ever please everyone ,, shows are ment to be a bit of fun get a good banter and meet up with like minded people, I used to show for years cause not much else to do with the dogs in the summer months and the racing used to be fun to but you will always get arguements cause some people just like to argue.

clachan 72 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Knowing Derek Webster personally he is one of the best lurchermen about today!And there is a lot of people on some of these forums would do well to take notice of him. Regards FT neva herd ov him mate wat strain ov dogs does he keep I was asked to judge a show this year,.Because of comments like this i declined.But i honestly beleive that if a judge knows his stuff its his choice.After all is that not his job?Wether or not you have dealt or heard of him in the past does that make a difference.Each club must know or must have heard of the judge before they ask him or her to judge.Rant over, clachan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest warren Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 There are NO standards for lurchers, the judge picks what he likes, that is why he is there! When is some one (winners or not) going to go and thank the judge for turning, with out him or her there wouldnt be show!! We dont need to pull and tug a lutcher about to see if it is sound enough to win a show, it is what it says it is, A SHOW, nothing more nothing less, it should be a bit of fun or in some cases a lot of fun for the winners. Derek Webesters is a very good lurcher man by anyons stanards and his lurcher will prove that. Regards Warren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Timid Toad 18 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 you can see why new people dont want to give judging a go when some people yell and scream at them when their in the ring just because they didnt pick what the owner thought they should my daughter had this happen to her last year by someone who went on to threten the person she put first instead of their dog for god sake its a bit of ribbon. just go and enjoy a day out with nice people and who cares if you win .
