SPECIAL TIPS FOR JUDGES
* Remember Polish have FLYBACK coats. A rollback
coat is a DISQUALIFICATION! Many Polish have rollback coats. DQ them!
* A Dewlap is a Disqualification in Polish. The
best way to evaluate whether or not it is a dewlap is to let the
animal move on the table. If anytime during the animals movement you
see a double chin larger than a pencil, DQ it.
* Maximum weight for juniors is 2 1/2 pounds. It is
very common to see mature juniors reach that weight. If it's close,
weigh it. Weights are protestable so don't overlook it.
* Polish are to be posed with the head close to the
table. Without a proper pose evaluating body type would be very difficult.
* Watch for Blues with brown eyes.
* Beware of Blues with frosty or silvered color.
They are to be DQed or given an unworthy of an award.
