There is no height DQ in the UKC Standard

Thought this might be of interest since there was a recent discussion on the AKC Lab standard and it's height DQ.

Re: There is no height DQ in the UKC Standard

No, it's not a DQ but I know of a dog's show career that was ruined because someone had a problem with a bitch that won that happened to be a bit on the smaller side. The next day, the whole class was wicketed and while the bitch wasn't DQ'ed, she never won again.

Judges talk and there is no doubt in my mind that this bitch was discussed. Even the judge who had awarded this bitch with a Group 1 previously and had raved about her, wouldn't even look at her again.

And no, I didn't own this bitch.
