Can you imagine.

Really! I had to read that twice, before I could believe it.  France is a FCI country, so is mine, the rules say nothing about classes being re-judged. Poor man being invited to judge such a prestigeous show, then being treated that way!

Do they do it so different in FCI countries that the judge doesn't have the final say? I've always believed that the judges decision is final (unless the KC finds something out that disqualifies the dogs) This is unbelievable.

In Germany the judges decision is final. Bizarre thing to happen never heard anything like it certainly not anything i have encountered at any shows i have been to all FCI countries!!!!

goodness me, sounds quite the fracas... and people think dogs shows are dull lol, shows them ;)

right, can anyone tell us who the alleged kennels are? (gwan, you know you want to :P)

I wonder if the lame dogs ended up winning next time round/  Not a good example for the breed is it?  As if it doesn't have enough bad press as it is such a shame as they are a lovely breed.

i cant belive that.
its bad to treat a judge like that at such a presigus show too!
