Hi all,

Have been out of the game for a while but I remember someone creating a tool that ranks judges based on specific dogs. Does such a thing still exist?

Thanks

No Message.

Don't think so..would be great. But we have so many judges now it would be a mammoth task!

I might still have a version of it. Its in Excel.

Gaylan....is that a chart or a calculator?

It is this?

I haven't looked at it for some time but I believe it's sort of similar but includes a rating for a judge for a particular dog.

I'll do a computer search and get back to you.

Yes, I do have a version of the tool which includes a rating for a number of judges for a particular dog. It gives a numeric score.

If memory serves me right, it is based on one someone else did earlier but I have done some additional work. I think I sent it to someone to evaluate but never heard back.

There is an additional element I was working on but that is not complete. The program does seem functional, however I don't know how accurate it is - that was where the "evaluation" came in before I spent additional development time.

The latest version is dated in 2015

Thank you. I have that link already..very useful. What I would love is a calculator where you type the dogs numbers in and it's best judges come up. Although it wouldn't account for hidden traits it would be fab!

I'd be interested in this as well. And cos I'm a geek I'd love to understand the whole "how judges can be better for some dogs that others" thing too - i.e. how you're calculating it?

I'm assuming it's something to do with weighting the scores for the traits that the judges like best? So two dogs with the same SOP can have different numbers - and one might have a 10 in the trait that's really important in that breed but if the other has a 10 in the trait the judge thinks is important then that might win?

Back when I only had one kennel I did something like that, created a formula, but it was really complicated and I gave up on it probably 8 years ago!

Obviously this game thinks I am overly verbose. Lol!

Lol I'm definitely interested although I don't know if I'll use it long term!

I would love to take a look at it.

(Also Millton kennel)

Overly verbose? No, it's great that you post so much. Always good stuff.

I'd love to have a go at using it, thank you. Let me know when you are ready and I'll message you my email. I'm on Android would it work ok, have Google docs.

Would love to use it as well! I think it will be very valuable.

Lol. Ok I'll finish up what I'm trying to do and let you all know when its ready.
