trial question
if a female shows no signs of being in heat but male dogs keep bothering her can a judge make you scratch your dog there were two males bothering her in the cast the female was not bleeding or swelled. any help would be appreciated.this happened to me in a cast and i was wondering if the judge made the right call.

Re: trial question
here is what the ARHA little pack rules say:
G. Reasons a Hound Must Be Disqualified
4. If a female is in heat and is distracting to the other hounds. This applies to both field and bench competition.
5. If a male continues to try to mount another female that is not in heat, or tries to mount another male and interferes with that male’s hunting.
It's a judgment call as to who is interfering with who. Being as two different males were attempting to mount or chase your female. In the judges mind your female was in or coming in heat. Lets say that only one male was trying to mount or chase your female with other males in the cast not paying any attention to her than the male could have been picked up.
