Albert, that was a requirement implemented by those who started the program. I'm only assuming for the purpose of living up to program standards, total dog philosophy, and/or the name "Hunting Beagle"? I don't think it was ever a requirement in Coonhound Bench Shows either.
Mary,
A Beagle Bench Show is only slightly different in comparison to a Conformation Show. As you're familiar with; Conformation is judged solely on the ground. In bench shows dogs are judged on the ground for gait etc. etc... AND then placed on a bench for further evaluation and judging.
