You made a smart decision.
Pulling an Animal from a show for any reason is actually a good thing. If you don't it can lead to the animal not being very good in the future.

There was one breeder at this show in another breed who showed the same Jr in all 3 rings and she won in all 3 So there was only one leg earned They may have blocked one of their own does from getting a leg
I think it's poor sportsmanship too and that's not what I'm trying to teach Rachel

Just curious, but is there any chance they they didn't understand the ramifications of doing what they did? Maybe they didn't understand the bigger picture? I ask because it's like testing in school... some folks know how to take a test, and others don't... Like when one question later in a test answers an earlier question... Maybe I'm just naive and assume wrongly that most are fair competitors...

In any case, congrats on a super show! You did very well, even if you didn't get all that you'd hoped for.

I don't know if they new or not

They may have different opinion than we do
We couldn't have asked for a better show
Any time you have a doe get her 3rd leg then you have had a great show

I think the judging was excellent

Personally I like to see the other breeders do well
I think it's good for our club and our show

And I think it is a good sign for the breed that different farms are breeding quality animals
