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.

Well if everybody stop showing their dogs for unxeperienced judges, who will be judging our dogs when these judges retire ?
The dogshows is a great opportunity to speak with the judges and show them that there are passionated breeders and owners in the country, but this is only possible by going to the dogshows. How should the judges see any improvements if no ones want to show their dogs ?
There are always rotten apples in every barrel, but just because of a few rotten apples, you don`t have to throw the whole barrel out !
Why not put an effort in speaking with judges who care and help educating them about our breed and forget the few rotten apples ?
Luckily I have never meet any judges who don`t care for the standart, most of the unexperienced judges(and trainies) I have meet in Denmark have asked me about the breed after the judgment, showing a big interest about our breed.
