How are the dogs judged?
In the Qualifying Round, dogs are judged by one or more experts, and the top 10 dogs advance to the Final Round. In the Final Round, dogs are paraded around the ring by their owners and lined up facing the celebrity judges. Each dog/owner is called forward. The judges use a touch pad system to enter a score on each dog. How the judge chooses to score is entirely up to that individual. Some categories are judged in a more specific manner, such as “Fastest Eater.” Visit our Scoring system page for more information.
