A great look at the world of judging dog shows. Chris covers it all, from comfortable shoes to breed standards to rules and ring procedures. She reminds us about what the responsibility of a judging assignment means for the dogs and for the hardworking breeders and owners and exhibitors. But most important, she also reminds you to bring to the ring your sense of humor, a smile, and the memory of how you once were handling dogs yourself.
