[QUOTE="Just Curious, post: 424680, member: 4712"] Buy and Cheat and 4-H..... Wow those are some powerful words, but somehow fail to go together! Then again with a Purple Ribbon and a $1.00 and I am sure that you can get a cup of coffee in most restaurants! Life can be unfair... But that's life in general when dealing with subjective events... An incident that happened to me years ago was in showing Labrador Retreivers... I went to a series of three shows in three days in three different towns that were close together. It was my first attempt and I met one other person showing and told me flat out that I would not be competitive in two of the three because those judges would pick yellow dogs and mine were black... Sure enough he was right... But there I was in that subjective environment... Knowing the trade... Knowing the judges (As in knowing what they are looking for)... Is doing your homework... It is part of the competition! If I would have persued showing any longer, I would have at least made sure that I had one dog in each color, one short coupled, one overweight, one with a short stubby tail and one that would run with its tail between its legs to show that it wasn't comfortable with its handler when I went into the ring... (Chocolates were popular in those days...) And I agree that learning such lessons are important for children... I, personally, would be hard pressed to make such accusations as buying and cheating... I think that that would be pretty hard to prove... Then again maybe I have been just judging in the wrong categories! :shock: [/QUOTE]
