Hi all,

 I thought I'd post a link to protection judge Lance Collins view on judging dogs. This interview was done before the trial and might give some insite to what he saw!!!

Thanks Lisa!

Well reading it, and thank you to Lisa for putting it on, His assessment of the three phases is right and fair enough and the way he thinks, The only gripe i had was with his commentary of his way he gave his resume on the Competitor and the Dog, He was saying for instance Shallow Bite etc but good exercise, I could not see how he could say it was a good excersise then mark low for it
I was not downing him as a judge in what he was doing,
My main gripe was with the Helper as was most people watching, I do not know who's job it is to change helpers and even then if it is fair to change helpers for what i saw in two days  does not make the four days and a helper can hardly be changed for some dogs and not others unless the fellow is injured that is unfair to the competitors who had the Guy for there routines
However His thoughts on the way he thinks on the three phases is fair enough no one can knock that.
It is over and done with and enough has been said on it already, We look Forwards to Sevilla and i guess there will be some topics on there we we not agree on It makes the world go round, One thing for sure it will be hot in Spain so the dogs will have to acclimatise a bit to the conditions
