Taurus and Jada Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Sorry about that, I worked until 1 am last night, then back up with Jada at 7 am and to work again this morning at 8 am. ANyways, here are the pics. I didn't get nearly as many as I wanted, because my batteries ran out, and when I went to put in the spare set that I brought , I realized that they were dead too... bummer Here they are... This first one is alittle unclear but it's too great danes. One was a silver/blue , absolutely gorgeous.

I do have a question if any show veterans can help me with... How the heck do these things work? Here's my take on how they work, please correct me if I'm wrong, which I sure I am. The dogs compete against their own breed, and the winner of that goes on to compete against other breeds, and the judges are looking for how closely the dog represents the breed standard? Am I far off? Now what happens if there is only one dog in a specific breed catagory? Who would it compete with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 The theory is that the dogs are always judged against the breed standard nothing else,not compared with the other dogs. I think if there was only one of a breed then it would go through to the next round. Great pics by the way well worth the wait :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I don't want to be rude but i thought i might correct you on one of your breeds.. Your American Bulldog is actually a Mastiff, The American Bulldogs are never a solid color and have not yet been recognized as an Akc Breed.

Taurus and Jada Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Not being rude at all, I actually said correct me on my breeds because I really do not know a ton about breeds other then the ones that I have owned, however, the dog I thought was a bulldog was only about 20-21 inches tall, aren't Mastiff's bigger then that? Also, it was not a AKC show, I live in Canada so it was a CKC show. Also, when I looked on the website that lists all shows in my region, it said no bulldog classes on the 19th, but she was in the best of breed?? ( think that's what it's called). so perhaps there were bulldog classes on the 17& 18th. Not sure because I only went on the Sunday. I think American Bulldog is also a rare breed in Canada as it has not been recognized by the CKC, ( again I think), but I could be wrong, it may be now recognized.???? I've never owned one, so never had any reason to wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 SOME SHOWS TAKE "THE BEST OF BREED" THEY GO FORWARD FOR "BEST IN SHOW" SOMETIMES DOGS ARE JUGED ON THE GROUP SYSTEM WORKING/ HOUND / TERRIER / UTILITY /THE BEST OF EACH GROUP GOES FORWARD FOR BEST IN SHOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
