If that's the case I'm pretty sure there would be a lot more people booted off. Quote Link to post
Missie 1 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Depends on the judge but yes, usually being castrated will go against a dog. I've only ever shown my lurcher a couple of times as a bit of fun but everytime the judge has told me had he not been castrated he would have been placed higher. He was castrated before I got him though as he came from a rescue. Quote Link to post

Missie 1 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thats only what those judges said to me. One at Highclere game fair and one at a hunt terrier and Lurcher show. As I say I only entered for a bit of fun really I don't take showing seriously and I guess opinion varies from judge to judge. Quote Link to post
