well tbh im talking about any groups at any level.i once took a manchester terrier pup under the late joe braddon who gave me best pup in show(it was only at an open show not  a  champ!)but at most shows unless i thought we were in with a chnce id not bother stayin cos most judges just gave a mannie a quick glance and tht was it,they werent glam and they didnt have a big following who would give the judge a big cheer at their decision! :- " fiona youve done extremely well with zoomie to have won so many groups even at open shows. :thumbsup: of course we know hes a cracker so the judges obviously can see quality sometimes. i just think a lot of judges follow the leader in picking out dogs in the groups at ch sh level and i think sometimes they dont give the less popular breeds any real consideration.and with a lot of these smaller breeds (meaning smaller numerically not size!)they dont even get a look in

There aren't many judges like Joe Braddon around now. You could never second guess him, I had some great wins under him with my Borzois and I also had some not so good days but I always felt satisfied with his decision.

jenny i think thats one of the signs of a good judge.not if youre happy with their judging when youve won,but if youre satisfied that their decisions were right,when you didnt win. :thumbsup:

Years ago when I was showing Robin, Ch. Rilloby One Man Band he had Group placings at Champ Shows and many Group wins at Open Shows.  More up to date is Maureen Wade in Ireland with Pansy, Rilloby Miss Teeq who has won many Groups at Championship level and a Best in Show. I am not sure how many but I am sure Jan will know. Jan bred her and she carries my Prefix because Jan had an interest in it at the time. Now she proudly has her own Little Briton Affix.

Maureen is doing brilliant with Pansy,she is nearly always is in the 4 group placings and in fact on the "mini-circuit" at the beginning of May she took Toy Group 1. But as mentioned the Ig's are now in the Hound group with us...we have Whippets,and she is still doing really well!!! :thumbsup:

Rilloby Miss Teeq won a group 4 last weekend at the FCI International show in Ireland. That was great but it was in the Hound Group as under FCI Iggies are now in the Hound Group. Oh yes and I am still top Toy breeder in Ireland apparently even though I havent been to teh Emerald Isle in years

And its hardly an easy thing to win in the fci sighhound (not hound .. no such thing under fci) group. Its not an easy thing to shiny out over afghans and borzoys and salukis, etc if you are a small iggy.
