I entered 2 dogs in this show, picked Ellen as the handler as shown by looking at preferences. Neither of my dogs placed, were basically at the bottom and all the owner handled dogs did much better. How did my Afghan competitor know not to use handlers? Don't really care my dogs lost but it is strange.

Then I looked at BIS to see what handler was used there and BIS was won by a dog with an SOP of 31.70 with obedience of 17 and Reberol with the handler. Huh?

What is going on here? These kinds of results make it hard to keep spending so much time trying to pick judges and handlers, etc.

Sorry, just venting a bit, so concerned this game will disappear because it makes me wonder if the game is finally deconstructing.

This has been going on for a while. Judges with this preference in their bios tend to put up low SOP dogs and dogs with no handlers:

"Thinks dogs should be compared to how good they are vs the rest of their breed rather than overall quality vs all dogs."

Alice Wise is one of those judges.

I have not sure if it's a glitch, or deliberate. This can be interpreted to mean that the judges really focuses on the individual dog - I think we have all seen this happen in real life shows with owner handler upsets and . Did Jeff program the game to operate this way? Unsure! I usually avoid these judges because results are too wonky.

Yeah, She is one of our oh hell Ill just take a chance and enter judges. lol

She put up one of my dals with no handler that was entered as a filler BIS over other entries with top handlers. Next show she gave BIS to a Sealy that had only won BOB the night before.

Well that makes me feel better. I will put her on my psychotic list then.

You can add Peter Payne to your list. He had been consistent until today. I'm not all in favor of retiring the big pool of judges, but these judges are the exception.

These judges allow those of us with lower sops to win, nothing wrong with that.
