I havent had a critique for ages coz my lot are having a crap year at shows this year and either been binned or too far down the line to get a critique

Havent even qualified any for Crufts next year yet

Cleo once won a mahoosive Post Grad class at a breed champ show and I was most delighted, as you would be Judge never did critique for the whole show and it really narked me, so I noted her name and now will not enter under her, lol!!

Am awaiting one Critique though, from Magnums BOB and Group 4 two weeks ago

At Open show level it's very hit and miss I've lost count of the critiques I've never seen in either OD or DW - yet for judging, you sign to say you will provide a critique to the paper and to the secretary after judging - so where does it break down ? (or is this not practised by all societies?)

Have to say I don't think I've ever had a missing CH show critique - had a lovely one for my baby from his last breed club show

I've also found OD to be rather unhelpful. I have, however, found that contacting the society (as they are responsible for choosing and employing the judges) and politely asking for them to look into the matter has brought some good results.

Do note that judges can be fined for failing to keep to their judging contract, so if you get nowhere with the Canine Society/Association, your next option is to contact the Kennel Club and file a complaint. You don't have to, but the option is there.
