Did I do this right?my female has been in alot of hunts and I've hunted with pup adults never seen a mean hair on her I knew it was the other female just made me sick!

But for this night only, don't let it get you down. You did what had to be done. If majority didn't see the "agreeser", both had to be written up. Had it happen a couple times in 40+ years of comp. hunting. Never worried about it because I knew it was not my dog that started it & didn't figure it was an issue. Surprising that the other dog involved will usually have 'issues' at other hunts & then seems to disappear from the hunts. Take care, Ron.

I agree with Ron. I've writen up my own dogs before just so I can get the ill dog. If your dog is not ill it will probably not get written up again but the ill dog probably will.

if you were the judge you are the only one had to see it... if you scratched your dog when you seen the other dog jump on her you were wrong... aggressive behavior isnt a voting thing... you make the call

The cast can then vote to overturn the call or not.

If the judge only scratches one they can question not scratching the other and then vote on that too.

But the judge makes the call. The cast can then question the call after the fact.

There are three things if I remember correctly that are not just a judges descision. One is scoring the tree, two is calling time out and the third is determining that the dogs have went back to the same tree. There may be another one I am missing but the point is there are very few times a cast vote is used in a cast. The majority of the time the judge rules and the cast can question it.

I could agree that the judge only needs to see aggressor, but a lot of arguements get started that way or a 'shifty' judge tries to eliminate cast members. Best to have whole cast together so everyone sees the same thing, so only 1 dog gets scratched. Take care, Ron.

There is one other situation in which UKC has enacted a policy that is not directly covered in the rules. We have supported the right of a non-hunting Judge to go into a tree alone with his or her light off in an attempt to determine if a dog is interfering with other dogs by aggressive behavior. Other than those situations described, a hunting Judge has the same authority as a non-hunting Judge. As an example, when it comes to scratching a dog for any reason, including fighting, it is the decision of the hunting Judge.
