gonzaiFirstly, I'm kicking myself because I never thought for even a moment of trying to go to NYC for this show. I also didn't know the NYC Comic-Con was this past weekend. I could have had a pretty sweet long weekend of fandom and dogs in the Big Apple. Dunno how attendance was at the Comic-Con, but the dog show is seriously low on warm bodies. I'm not a crowd person, so now would have been a great time to go.
Secondly, I have never seen dogs disqualified for conflict of interest before, much less twice in the same group. It kinda seems to me that if the judge has that many potential conflicts, they shouldn't be judging that breed/group. And if the conflict is with the handler, they had a few hours to find someone else to handle the dog (I've been to enough shows to know if you have more than one dog, you have at least one more handler on standby - you can't be two people at once!)
That said and off my chest... DOGGIES! So many lovely DOGGIES! Yes, I know. I'm hopeless.
