Synopsis

This is not a book about how to judge dogs. It is a series of opinionated articles for dipping into occasionally when a specific subject becomes relevant. These are the culmination of forty-five years of experience of judging in the UK and all over the world which are primarily meant to generate discussion, ask questions suggest solutions, some of which have even been taken on by the Kennel Club..

Subjects include: The charmed circle; Cost and process of becoming a judge; Talent and skill; Evaluation, assessment and consistency; Who judges the judges?; Best books; The advantages of ‘Grading’; Handlers with ‘star’ qualities; The philosophy of judging; How do we know we are ‘right’?; Wilful blindness and Critiques of critiques among many others taken from the hundreds that have been published.
