So, my Ringcraft club held a dog show in a fete today. It was a good cause so we went wih our puppy.
My mother had researched the judge and found out she'd been breeding and showing two different breeds since the 70's.
We came 2nd out of 2, 2nd out of 3 and fifth out of six.
I don't have sour grapes because of this but my mum who was watching ringside, heard the judge say that a particular entry, one of the breeds she exhibits, was from her line. This entry won first four times in five classes, there were four pedigree and six novelty classes. It then went on to win Best In Show.
The steward came up to us (we are quite friendly with our club), and said she wouldn't be getting that judge again.
I forgot to mention that the judge was twenty minutes late and arrived a few minutes before they were going to have someone else judge.
The judge I think annoyed the steward too so it wasn't sour grapes.
What do you think?
EDIT; I mean its bad for the other people who just entered as they were on a day out.
