Measurements

Meant to put this in my last blog but forgot. So the first time Deuce was measured at an AKC trial when he was 15 months old, he got a 19.5 inch measurement. Now I don't have an official measuring device but when I use my yardstick, he is at least 20.5. Anyway, took him to his first USDAA trial in February at 18 months and the judge measured him at 21 even. I kind of got scared because I really wanted him in 22 inches and I was heading down to TX where if you measure over you either move up or run for exhibition which would have made a very long trip for training. Anyway, got him to the judge saturday morning and for whatever reason, he was terrified of the table/measuring device. We could not get him to stand up for love nor money nor pupperoni. Finally got him semi-standing and she got him at 19.25. She had my card but of course had not looked at it so when she did, she re-measured him and still got him at 19.25. I of course was thankful but I cannot figure out why his measurements are all over the place. I will be interested to see what his over 2 years old measurement will be in AKC. I just think it is super funny that I was told by EVERYONE that he would be a giant and now i can't even get a measurement in the 20s LOL!
