BUT - the dog would have to be outstanding in every other way. of course it is up to the judge to check the standard if they are not sure. i have a friend who judges irish wolfhounds and their standard mentions nothing about bites, so when she judges she doesnt even look in the mouth for fear of penalizing a beautiful dog for something that is not in their standard. a slightly off bite is IMO alot more forgiving than an ugly head/face and soundness. claudia ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
