Perhaps they were but surely by the end of judging someone could have got up the gumption and gone and asked [/quote]
I understand someone did just that and the judge explained his reasons so maybe he will put it in his critique. Possibly the exhibitors themselves also asked him. _________________ If your dog thinks you are the best do not seek a second opinion!
Gay...No one asks what the hip scoring is of a dog here...( unlike in France at their club show) And people show for fun and a hobby. It depends how you look at showing.
Temperament...I was meaning if a dog bounces for a couple of strides, it won't worry me. I still don't expect a dog never to have a bad day even if ideally they should be perfectly schooled like a dessage horse
Removal/deleting of comments on this thread.
It's noticeable that several comments, including one of mine, on the judging at National Gundog, have been removed.
If this is necessary, why do we have a forum at all and surely it is common courtesy to inform the persons concerned of any deletion.
As far as I am aware, anything of this nature can only be carried out by the administrator.
Where on Earth are we going?
The total thread should have been deleted at the start because it tends to look as if only carefully chosen comments are allowed.
Well said, Jayne, and well spotted! I hadn't noticed.
Guy, what is going on? I think we need an explanation. _________________ Annie

You may have noticed that this thread is titled National Gundog but it had moved on solidly to a discussion of hips and movement at Bournemouth.
Jayne's post was the logical starting point of this trend so this is the point I split the thread. All posts and comments are intact and in a more appropriate place and the new split thread is receiving posts.

Absolutely no problem with that at all except that moderators on other fora I read have always made a statement on both threads to advise people where to find what they want. I thought you normally did that too which is why I was puzzled. _________________ Annie

Thanks Guy. I had the same thoguhts as you on this and was temted to make the split myself yesterday, but couldn't remember how to do it
I take Annies point and agree that it would be useful to post an explanation that a split has been instigated and where the new thread can be found _________________ My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
Apologies for not explaining - did the split when I should have been doing something else :-) _________________ Guy, Ellie, Topaz, Catja and in memory Barley
