Judges Comments: When looking for a winner today I was looking for dogs to have nicely muscled and toned hindquarters and nicely angulated hind legs.

Judges Comments: When picking my dogs today I was looking first at who was handling the dogs, I do prefer to see handlers in the ring over the owners of the dog. I then look at the dog and look for the structure of the fore and hind quarters, I am looking for proper angulations and making sure the dogs aren’t too wide or narrow in the chest nor hind. I am also looking at Height and size when the dog moves around the ring. I lastly look at the paw placement when the paws land in the trot and when they stop for a free stack whether they are pointed outwards or inwards.

Judges Comments: When looking at the dogs in the ring today I was looking for a dog that had a nice hindquarter and a nice topline, I was looking for the placement of the dog's hind paws when trotting around the ring and when they stood in a stack I was looking for them to have a nice picture frame stack showcasing the breed standard. I wanted to see the topline match and blend into the hind end smoothly and nicely. I like to pick different dog breeds that win every other Best in Show, I want to see some diversity. I do like to see handlers with the dogs in the ring over owners but I still want to see the owners and the dogs bond showcased in the ring as well. I like dogs that are seasoned and know what is expected of them in the ring during a show. I think each dog should have their CH title before they are even considered a candidate for Best in Breed.

FlyingHigh AllBreed 06-05-2024 Entries: 388 Judge: Sandra Grooms

Judges Comments: When judging I am looking at the dogs forequarters and looking at the angulation and how the dog is structured in stance at the front. I am additionally looking for good height and size on each dog and their coats as they are moving around the ring. I do have a slight preference for bitches over the dog in the ring but I am not overt to pulling a dog for breed or group winners. I have no preference on breeders in the winner's circle at all.

Down Under All Breed 52 Entries: 371 Judge: Travis Hunter

Judges Comments: When I am picking my BIS candidates I am looking for dogs that haven’t won every other BIS previously. I think dogs should be judged off of their breed standards by each class and pick the best of each breed to be the best in breed winners. When I am judging each class I am looking at the coat mainly, I want to see the coats clean and have a history of regular maintenance. I am looking at the dogs as they go around the ring and I am looking at how the coats move with the dog and give the dog a complementary flowy and elegant feel.
