Have just sent an e-mail to the Kennel club to ask what they propose to do about the huge entry at Bath.

I have been told that a judge cannot judge more than 250 dogs in one day, so will they have to appoint a second judge and split the sexes? If so, who's gonna be judging what.....?

Doubt if they will reply until after the weekend, but will let you all know if I hear anything.

Alternatively, if anyone hears any news, let us all know please. :cheers:

They might leave it to one judge, as MAry Lowe is very experienced in the breed and judging, HOwever it might mean an 830 start !!

Its such a mammouth task for one judge, but also a huge complement

Berry was just one day too young, most annoying as I would love to have entered! Daisy had her first litter early ( 3 days) but waited this time till her due day. (w00t) She wanted Sunday children. :lol:
 
all the best are born on a Sunday :- " :huggles: and people too o:)
 
At an average of 2.1/2 minutes per dog (which I think is the KC recommendation), and not allowing for having any sort of break or even going to the loo, Mary will have to judge for nearly 12.1/2 hours to get through the entry. In order to get her BOB into the group, she will need to finish judging by about 4.30 - I will leave it for you to work out what time she will need to start (Dawn will break about 5 am at the end of May). Just hope the weather is fine as if we have to be in the wet weather tent, it will be a nightmare.

I know that Mary is a very experienced judge and will probably go much quicker than 2.1/2 minutes per dog, but it is a huge entry for anyone to undertake.

A terrific compliment to her though that so many people have entered.

Of course there are always a fair number who are absent for one thing or another :wacko: but still an awful lot for Mary to see , and as Im sure she will admit to , shes no `spring chicken ` :oops: :eek: :lol: :huggles:

This is the Bath show that will take place in the end of May, right? I might just miss it by a couple of weeks :( :( :(

Or maybe time to book some tickets fast ...
 
I think the Kennel Club will allow her to judge it. I remember a similar situation a few years ago. In that situation the KC said that they always assume a certain percentage of absentees and aske dthe show to make every effort to move things along as quickly as possible (ie early start, make sure class 2 is lined up and waiting while the judge is doing the critique on Class 1, quick bite to eat at the table rather than going off for a full-blown lunch etc etc)

Does anyone have the results?
