Hi, I was there too and, out of curiousity, I pulled out the old Bulletin and here are the bits I see regarding baiting:
In the general comments: "A morsel of food is a useful aid in showing but over use of tit-bits distracts both dog & owner from displaying the exhibit to advantage." In the class comments: "Special Limit Blenheim Bitch (6) A bit disappointing but a good winner. 1. Mostyn Cotton Ginny At BJ (...) 3 1/2 years. Very good make & shape: good head tho' I would prefer a shorter nose. Showed well but with a constant tit-bit which monopolized the exhibit and discouraged the judge." Susan - I can't see where these comments indicated that this bitch lost out on Best In Show due to baiting. By reading some of the other comments, this judge seemed very happy with his final winners. The dog that went Best In Show was a young Ravenrush Tartan and the bitch winner and Reserve Best In Show was Rutherford Jocelyn. Another comment in the general remarks though: "Our Standard forbids trimming: it was a pity to see a number of exhibits whose feet had been unnecessarily and obviously trimmed." Can't blame that on AKC as this was long before AKC recognition. <VBG> Take care, Jackie On 2 May 2002 at 8:38, Jo wrote: > Hi Susan, > I was there and don't remember the incident..it was awfully hot. > Could you scan the page or copy it to the list? > Tell us how many were at the show, who was judging and who the winners > were..please.
