Have you ever wondered how dog show judges learn to identify the subtle differences that separate a dog that is merely good from a dog that is outstanding? Now you can develop your own eye for sound movement and structure and learn how markings, size, and even leash position affect the judge’s perception! In An Eye for a Dog - Illustrated Guide to Judging Purebred Dogs you will get to actively participate in over 100 judging scenarios similar to what a judge encounters in the show ring.
Become familiar with:
• The concepts of breed type, balance, and proportion.
• How to evaluate fronts, toplines, the forechest, and sickle hocks.
• How canine trotting styles vary by breed and breed function.
• How to spot hidden faults—and how they can be masked.
• International breed differences.
