Lori, that was just the winner of that group. They have different groups going on throughout the day. They judge the bitches separate too. All the winners are then pit against other, then the best bitch and the best dog are judged together to find one final winner. You could spend all day just watching the judging!


Yes, tail docking was banned here in 2007 - Animal Welfare Act - Tail Docking in the UK as at 6 April 2007

Thanks Stephanie- maybe someday the US will smarten up! I have a lot to learn about Boxers--one reason I love this Hub!
