When training a dog for Rally, Obedience or Tracking, there will always be times when it does not respond in quite the manner we believe it should have. The same will be true for dogs being trained for competition in any of the AKC’s performance events. It is, however, possible that the dog is being willfully disobedient, but it is much more probable that it is simply unsure of what it should be doing. In simple terms, the dog is confused. Any time we have a dog, a trainer and a new learning process, it is likely there will be some degree of confusion. Confusion is a part of the learning process, but it’s something we would like to keep to a minimum, and we understand that we will have to work through it.

Westminster 2006 was true to form in terms of surprises. A few shocks at every level of competition are the Westminster tradition. However, that particular year stands out for a couple reasons. Jim Reynolds, that year’s Best In Show judge, was no stranger to Westminster. He had judged there on ten occasions beginning in 1983. He was also among the few, confident judges who didn’t shy away from controversy. Tom Bradley III, Westminster’s show chairman for 17 years, described Jim as his “go-to guy” in an emergency. “He was always on tap to take over and fill in. He always drew a good entry, was popular both in Canada and the US and, frankly, I think he was even more popular in the US.” As we know, unexpected judge changes are another Westminster tradition. Usually, that’s due to the weather, but throughout its history those unforeseen absences has run the gamut from a NYC ferry strike to the bombing of the Lusitania. Stuff happens and a reliable, popular judge is priceless at those times.
