Convention 2009 San Diego
At this time I have only one comment about this Convention.
English Angoras were judged with a breeder (who had rabbits entered) behind the table with the judge (also from Ca.)..........This should be against show rules, it is inappropriate at the least. ARBA Convention is supposed to be a blind judging giving all exhibitors anonymity. Breed Chairs should arrange for people with no entries in the breed to help the judge. The judge should also ask people behind the table who have entries in the breed to remove themselves for the duration of their breed.
The appearance of non bias fairness should be paramount at this the largest most important show of the year.
