We all know it says in the Official UKC Rule Book that a spectator in the woods on a Nite Hunt may not give his input, ideas, etc.


BUT. What about in the showring? Can a spectator stand on the sidelines and coax the handler on the placement of feet...or how to correct the stack of the dog on the bench?

Here's another question. If aggression is found in the woods, there is reprocusions for said behavior. What about in the show ring? If a hound in the show shows aggression, shouldn't he/she be removed?

What about a handler showing aggression to a hound that is having a 'wiggly' day on the bench?

If a bsj doesnt scratch a dog for fighting they can get their licenses taken away. I've seen a dog get scratched for fighting on the bench.Yes you can get scratched for being mean to your dog. I don't think they're supposed to "coach", I agree though if they need a "coach" maybe they should rethink their handling skills.

What happened, did one dog try to push the other dog off the bench? Is that called Bench Jacking?


Sorry couldn't resist.

I've seen a couple of dogs get scratched for growling at the judge when he bends down to look at their teeth. I havent seen to many that coach from the side lines but i know it happens. I have showed a few times when the handler of another dog i'm showing against is verbally praising or scolding their dog very loudly so the whole ring can hear them. To me thats going a little to far.
