Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the AKC judges base their decisions on how closely that dog matches the standard.
For example, in the working group competition, the judge bases each individual dog on its own breed standard. Whichever dog is closest to their standard is the winner...right?
At the competitions, the judges spend less than a minute with each dog and then just watch it run around a bit. Some of these standards are pretty specific...I find it hard to believe that these judges are really comparing the dog to everything the standard says.
Do the judges have an awesome memory for the standards, or are they not actually comparing the dog to the standards as closely as they should be?
