There was a specials dog then the handler that yelled at me then my specials dog and the handler behind me was a specials bitch. The one in front won and that handler was on his knees also. I think I was the only one standing and my dog was animated. I can not tell you how many times a judge has said to me your dog would do better if you were on your knees so he could not act up so much. When I say they are suppose to be animated and free standing. The judges usually say then teach him how to stand and not move. So what are you suppose to do.
