Does anyone have a link to her dog show judging bias paper? I'd love to read it.
I knew some people on the dog show circuit a long time ago, and each judge having obvious bias for random dog aspects / ages was well known. Since dog breeders and serious dog show people would have many active dogs simultaneously, for each judge at an event, they would enter their closest matching dog to what the judge liked, and skip entirely if that wasn't your dogs. Thus if you had eight dogs you were currently showing, and a two day weekend event with two judges, you would bring two dogs, one picked for the Saturday judge and one picked for the Sunday judge.
