[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 444309, member: 861"] I almost hate to get into this thread, but I just can't leave it alone. As a person who has been a Breed Superintendant many times, and even more often responsible for checking tatoos and verifying papers, I know how the rules are interpreted at the National level, and down to the county. The exhibitor is responsible for entering correctly, but mistakes often happen because of misinterpretation and mostly from lack of research or just not reading the rules. When this happens, it is up to the Breed Superintendant to make the correct call. At many County shows, the Supers. don't know the rules, or maybe the Board has not even considered a particular breed. If a Super. doesn't look at the registration papers, all blame for mistake should be off of the exhibitor. In this case, I would say the proper decision was made in the end, but I understand why people would be upset. My advice is to always make sure that Tatoos, Birth Date, Date of Ownership, and Breed Classification are checked by the proper officials. Of course, if you have not entered correctly, the show officials always have the option of not allowing you to show. [/QUOTE]
