Does anyone know what this- 2/1WH - means in a show result? There was only one in the class. I have never seen this before.

that means second place , and that first place was withheld.

No, look up at the top of the page of the show results, it means that second place or first place was withheld!!! So, that could mean what? I have seen excused, for not letting the judge go over the dog or bad bite, but never this????

Please see my responce is the post below. It explains what the judge did this.

:)

an excused dog will not count for the total numbers for the day, a dog that was with held a placement does count, but if there was only 1 in the class, it can not come back in for Winners Bitch or for Winners Dog

There were only 2 dogs showing in Am Bred, by professional handlers, and the judge awarded them a 2nd and a 3rd place, same thing happened the next day by another judge. Eventually both dogs ended up finishing, just goes to show that anything can finish if shown enough!

Doesn't mean it is the best dog Just shows that some handlers can finish anything

A judge may withhold a ribbon for any reason, but he or she has to explain why in the judge's book. Generally it's that the judge feels the entry(ies) are lacking in merit. Withholding a ribbon does not change the number of dogs in terms of the point count. Excusing a dog does, and a judge can excuse a dog for any reason also.

Judge withheld first place. Dog does NOT get to compete later for Winners.
