  Characteristics:

  The judge in an exhibition ring should for the first sight differentiate spaniel from other judged animals.
  It should have a vertical posture, a proper clothing and neat look.
  An essential characteristic of a judge is the ability to move.
  We should stress that only winners forgive judge’s vices.

  General impression:

  The judge should look as human as possible and it should make an impression that the race that he
  is judging is not completely unknown to him. By all the time his judging he should be conscious and the best
  – a little stimulated. A ability of free moving in a ring is required and the eyesight should be keen enough
  to so as the judge could define the sex of a dog. The perfect eyesight is when a judge is able to see dog’s structure.
  It is acceptable (and fully excusable) that the judge makes an impression of a person who drinks alcohol unless
  it affects on the colour of his nose.

  The weight:

  The weight of a judge is not particularly important unless it suppresses his functioning.
  Female judge has a right to make actions which attract attention of male exhibitors,
  but without aggression of female exhibitors. Male judge can act similarly so as it would not be
  a danger to other men who are in the ring. However judges should not ever forget all of the exhibitors
  are lower category of living creatures, that is why the judge should present mistrust in every relation with them.
  What is more a judge has to at least make an impression of completely impartial no matter who asked him for
  a dinner and with who he spent the last night.

  The head:

  Should be fixed on shoulders, slightly bend so as the look was directed down.
  Mouth should be visible and only used for speaking. The skull may be hairy or covered with some clothes,
  appropriate to judge’s sex and atmospheric conditions.

  Eyes:

  They should not be restless and they must be capable of scanning the ring.
  Although the judge has not got eyes behind his back, the ability to see dogs in front
  and behind the judge is highly desirable. A judge with a short eyesight may use glasses.
  Dark sunglasses are not recommended because they hide facial expressions.
  The judge should do his best so as his eyesight was not questioned.

  Ears:

  They are present in all judges but it is required so as they were well closed during the judgment and before.
  Judge’s ears should receive signals of ring’s host which are given to the judge to keep him awake and stimulated.

  The mouth:

  Basically they should be closed except the situation when they are giving short commands for exhibitors.
  Their slight curvature is excusable but an express of unpleasant taste or scoff should be avoided.

  The neck:

  It support the head, turns and bends it down. The judge can scratch it from time to time
  to make an impression of deep consideration.

  Forelegs:

  Placed on the side of the torso, they should me mobile in shoulder and elbows.
  The judge should use his hands in moderation and gently.

  Torso:

  Its shape may be various, according to the sex and age of the judge, and the judgment
  of proportions will be individual. Incision in a waist is acceptable. The torso should bend but
  in a standing position a Napoleon’s posture is the most desirable, it gives prestige (in final events a posture
  of admiral Nelson makes the best impression, with one turned blind).

  The rump:

  It should be build good enough to provide a comfortable position while sitting,
  appropriate for the size and it has to be covered with clothes.

  Hind legs:

  Flexible on joints so as they make moving forward possible.
  The ability to move backwards and to the sides is also desirable.

  Feet:

  Big enough to be a solid fundament of the body, nut not too small so as the judge would not tangle up.
  They always have to be located in a proper distance from dog and exhibitors.

  The tail:

  The tail similarly as other devil’s attributes as horns, hooves should only remain in exhibitors’ imagination.

  Clothing:

  The skin may be wrinkled (according to the age and liking for sun).
  It is required that the judge has a additional clothing apart the skin. It is desirable that the clothes
  are tasteful and neat, so as we could differentiate the judge from exhibitors.

  The colour of hair:

  All colours are acceptable except bluish which indicates that a additional encasement for the judge
  is necessary or move the ring to a room. Extremely red pigmentation of a nose is not desirable.
  The height and the weight: run i a wide limits, it is only important that those features
  would not scare off the exhibitors. The weight should not make movement impossible.

  Vices:

  Inability to concentrate the eyesight on a random end of a leash is a great vice.

  Other vices are:

  Inability articulate number from 1 to 4,
  Excessive talkativeness,
  Gesticulation which expresses opinion about a dog or a exhibitor,
  Loud mocking at dogs which are not to his liking,
  Pinching the exhibitors of different sex,
  Aggression or cowardice.

  Attention: The judge cannot be aggressive towards the dog, even if he is provoked.
  Judges who accept cheque should not be invited.
