Can anyone define breed bias on the judge's information?

Each judge that shows a breed bias will like some breeds more than others, to a greater or lesser degree when judging the Groups, which contain all the dogs that won Best of Breed. It doesnt count when competing in classes, only in the Groups and for BIS. Hope that helps.

I think you compare the trait highs and lows for the judge with the trait highs and lows for the breed. The better they match, the higher the breed bias for that judge for that breed.

Then the actual dogs also need to have a good correlation there too. I'm not sure if that answers all the questions but I hope it gives a better understanding - as I understand it.

In the American Kennel Club, a dog needs 15 points to become a Champion, with each win gaining anywhere from zero to five points depending on the number of dogs competing and the area where the show is held.
