I will be going back to my college town Sunday, so I might not be available for a while, while I pack, unpack, settle in.
I will lock the shows on their closing date. After that, judges need to PM mw with the following:
Pose Show: All placements (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and up to 3 HMs)
Race/Pull: In each size category >> 3 to 6 finalists.
As for how to judge, it is purely on pose. Do not let colors or features influence your choices! For those not familiar with judging... Check...
~The condition of the animal (good weight, nice fur, ets)
~Alignment (should be in a good profile or head on, depending on the pose)
~Poise (it just holds itself well with strightness and curves in the right places)
~Expression (should be appropriate to the competition, determined and proud, not sleepy, angry(fierce is good for hunting, though!), or scared.
The importance of each of these things is up to the judge, of course.
