I am so upset. I showed my 13 month old, Uma today and was excused for growling. Everything went fine. Beautiful go around, good teeth exam, then she snorted as she does like a pig... The judge says "Ok I will have to excuse you she growled at me". I saidno that was a snort. That is how she breathes. She said no it was a growl. My uma has never growled at anyone! I went to the AKC rep and complained, but it is "up to the judges discretion" He told me next time let the judge know she makes a snort that may sound like a growl. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Jan Jan La Famiglia Neos

What you have to do, I have found out after I made a complaint at Chicago, is INSIST on filing a FORMAL complaint immediately. It must be the day of the show.
IF you are still close, go back and make them take a written complaint, they HAVE to do something.
Yeah, Nydia, thanks, I'm an idiot... it was a 5 point major.... She had 10 points, so she is now a champ! Thanks for catching that. Anne Centurian Mastini
