I just thought this was quite amusing.........but true!
The Dog Exhibitor Standard
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
A pleasant, intelligent person, helpful, considerate, attentive and of a sporting demeanour. Always willing to give advise and assistance to newcomers or to others needing it. Attentive to the needs of the dog being handled and able to present each dog to its best advantage.
APPEARANCE
A neat, smart, fit looking individual, well groomed, shod and equipped, who moves freely in and out of the ring.
TEMPERAMENT
Calm, confident and polite.
HEAD
Neither big nor pin headed. Skull broad to allow for plenty of brain power. Expression pleasant and smiling, regardless of judges' decisions, other people's actions and the dog's behaviour. Nose small so as not to be stuck in where it is not wanted.
EYES
Sharp & bright. Observant of other exhibitors' location, judges' hand signals and the movement and position of all dogs in the ring.
MOUTH
Usually best kept closed except to answer judges' questions or to congratulate successful exhibitors.
FOREQUARTERS
Shoulders broad and able to shrug off unsporting comments. Arms of sufficient length & strength to shake hands with the winners.
FEET
Firmly on the ground as this is only a sport after all. To be kept out of the mouth at all times.
SIZE
Exhibitors may come in all shapes and sizes, the only limitation being their ability to do justice to the dog when in the ring.
MAJOR FAULTS
Dirty or scruffy appearance; grumpy, vicious or flustered temperament; swollen head; loud mouth, especially when used for insulting comments or bad language; unsporting behaviour; unkempt dress.
NOTE: THE USUAL KENNEL CLUB REQUIREMENT THAT ALL MALES HAVE TWO APPARENTLY NORMAL TESTICLES FULLY DESCENDED INTO THE SCROTUM HAS BEEN DISPENSED WITHIN THE INTERESTS OF DECORUM!

I think you may have missed the point - the standard is for the exhibitor, not the dog!
