Dogwise Publishing is very pleased to announce the arrival of Dog Show Judging - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by Chris Walkowicz. We think whether you are a judge, a prospective judge, or an exhibitor that you will find this new book to be informative, thought provoking, and very entertaining. The life of a judge - and learning to be a judge - is a lot more than the glamour of tuxes and formal dresses under the lights at Westminster. It takes years of study, being mentored, judging fun matches outdoors in the rain, and dealing with exhibitors who as often as not are not going to be happy with your decisions. It involves travel nightmares, recording keeping hassles, horrendous weather, and the wary eye of the AKC Rep. looking over your shoulder. But in the end, it can be a very fulfilling and rewarding life - and of course necessary for dog shows to be held. Chris also addresses the issue of the relationship between judges and exhibitors in the ring. The book is full of tips and imaginary conversations held between judges exhibitors that will help build a greater understanding between them as well as make you laugh!
Staying with a dog show theme, our book of the week from now until October 20th is Positive Training for Show Dogs by Vicki Ronchette. Bringing well trained and well mannered show dogs into the ring can only help the judge's opinion of your dogs. On sale this week at 20% off, only $11.96.
