Editorial Reviews Book Description Here is an in-depth work for anyone considering becoming a dog show judge, or current judges who would like to enhance their skills. The author covers everything from evaluating structure and gait to the nuances of becoming a confident, accurate judge and running an efficient ring. Dr. Berndt has also devised a companion volume, The Handbook of Breed Standard Analysis which gives a brief summary, photograph, and the key points of the Standard for each breed. This guide is designed for ready reference during and in preparation for judging assignments and may be purchased separately. From the Publisher We are extremely pleased to be the publishers of Dr. Berndt's new book. It is always a thrill for us to publish a work by someone as knowledgeable as Dr. Berndt and this effort by him is a major contribution to the sport of purebred dogs.
