Been to many up and down this country and really couldn’t agree with you on that, sorry.
Like someone else said, politics is all behind scenes.
Well for conformation it is.
What one judge see’s is not what another judge sees too.
Conformation which this is, is based on what a judge thinks and that’s it
Now if it is herding, agility I would agree with you but conformation, no
“What one judge see’s is not what another judge sees too.”
That’s true. Different people look at dogs through different lenses. I used to show and kept track of judges decisions. Individual judges were overwhelmingly consistent in their choices. Judges who didn’t care about movement, never cared about it. Those who insisted on dogs with certain kinds of coat didn’t waver either. I did well but I avoided certain judges like the plague and showed under others every time I could (I almost never knew any of them).
I showed in obedience too and those judges also have preferences that shade their judging.
