Apologies if I am being thick. What exam have you taken?

Whippetsrus

I have to take exams in order to become a whippet judge (shows):

1. entrance exam on anatomy and Canine Control Council (Queensland, Australia) rules. done and passed.

2. Whippet Breed exam (written) - basically a test on your knowlege of the standard. Done and passed.

3. Hands-on exam where I have to judge a number of whippets in front of some assessors and then justify my placings to them.

Congratulations Lana- what do you think that you got wrong?

GajoI know exactly what I got wrong. Forgot the most obvious thing! In the description of coat, I forgot the word .......... SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know who's organising the dogs for me Gary but if you get asked, I would be very grateful if you brought one along.

Roll on August. You should do OK.

I remember when I did mine. When they came into the ring the first thing I thought of was "they all look like crap". So it was just a matter of finding the ones that were not as crappy as others. Look for "my" type & soundness. In the end I had a line up that I was happy they were placed 1 to 5. But I still did not like them.

Mmm - I have thought about this - worried that people will only bring dogs that are not normally shown and not put their usual show dogs in. But I guess that you can only do what you can with what's in front of you. Actually as of this morning I decided I'm not going to stress about it - I'm just going to clear my head until a day or two before and then get out my standard again and go over it a number of times (in case they throw questions at me from the standard) and then just apply it as best I can to what is given me. I know what I like and I should be able to justify my choices, as long as I don't feel intimidated by the assessors and let the nerves get to me :unsure: if anything that's what'll bring me down
