Breeding, showing, and judging dogs is a game of sorts. To play any game well, participants must know the rules and understand the concepts. For instance, in the game of Bridge, if you are not dealt a good hand, you will not win a grand slam. If you are dealt a good hand, you must know how to bid and play that hand to win that grand slam. So, to play the dog show “game” well, participants must plan to put in the time to study, learn, and understand the rules of the game and how it is played.
