Well, this doesn´t really happen in my experience. We have shown our dogs very often in the past, what costs a lot of time and money but nothing changed. What helped was to speak to some judges personally and mainly that they have seen more and more better charakters so they could see an improvement in itself. But it only helps with some judges and the main thing is that they get the impression not that there are many dogs but that there are passionated breeders and owners in the country. With the judges that don´t even bother to care for the standart nothing helped at all, they just don´t care and don´t want to. What seemed to help a little bit for the next years was to complain about showers paying a lot of money for judges that oviously don´t even know the standart.
But even in Slovakia there was a situation not so long ago when a specialised judged intervened because of the absolutely wrong judgement of an international one.
