Was B's tree up on the orginal 5 minutes?
I didnt know. I though in order to score a tree you have to have atleast one of the following to happed. All dogs declared treed or dog holds it's tree for 5 minutes. Never seen anything like it.
Oh boy, I am in trouble big time. Hopefully, better late than never. Sorry Champ.
In accordance with Rule 11, it is the decision and responsibility of the judge to declare any dog(s) split if it is obvious to them. If it's not obvious, as seems was the case here, then you don't start a separate time at any point. In this case dog B's tree would have been closed at the same time as dog A's.
