Templates And Silhouettes – More Than Just An Eye For A Dog
One of many expressions that have been around since the beginning of dog shows goes as follows: “We don’t judge the dogs against each other; we judge them against their breed standard.” It’s a helpful phrase and a noble effort to bring clarity to a concept that may sound pretty complex.
