I will try to be objective although It's not so easy.
However, when I mentioned different character judgements in different bonitations, I didn't refer to Italian bonitations...
I saw a bonitation made in Slovakia.
The figurante was a female, her "attack" was not really an attack.
She wasn't heading towards the dog but going "away" from it.
She was just waving her stick in the air, not looking at the dog.
I asked Sona how could she judge this "attack" which was really reduculous as an attack.
She replied very elegantly (again I must say nobody can top Sona...) that she will adapt her judgement to the degree of attack.
This means that even a small reaction to the attack would be bad considering the attack was "light".
Similar situation in the bonitation in Italy.
Sona used the same "parameter", adapting her judgement to the degree of the attack.
THIS is SERIOUS JUDGEMENT!!
Now you say Sona's bonitation was not "official" and so will not be considered on YOUR site.
Well, I consider the bonitation of my dog (now i'm losing my objectiveness of course) as valid as that of any other dog, because it was done by a great judge (and signed by her too).
You are free to take it off your site, but I think the validity of a Bonitation should be decided by experts, not by you.
Up to today, this bonitation is valid.
This for me is valid for Sona's bonitation and also for the following ones of course, because they have been done by experts, although they are not slovak or maybe good friends.
By the way, during that bonitation a dog was judged as P3 by Sona....the judgement was not accepted and done again by another good Judge but in another year...and the result was the same. Same dog, same judgement, different bonitation.
"Good judges??"

sure, but being a member of the italian Club I would like to see the components of the comittee make good proposals, maybe publishing them, not just complaints...it's offencive for those components of the comittee who have worked hard and well.
