Judging a conformation class

just a question lads and lassies, there's a few people on the board here that have being involved in the bull breeds for quite some time and have judged many apbt-sbt conformation classes. my question is this, i understand every judge has their own preference when it comes to these dogs, however when it comes to judging conformation and looking for things such as temperament-condition-structure-health-falts. what area would be your most important? in other words between the above options to look out for in a conformation class in what order would you put them in if you were judging??

dying to see the answer to this question ?????

im looking forward too, there's lots to learn from a tread like this and many things to address when judging, there's people here that have judged for 20 years or more and seen as ill be doing a bit of judging at the IPBTA conformation show in sep "details posted soon" id like to hear and ask some questions to learn a bit more so any help guys be much appreciated.

me dear ricky, im not talking about the standard in asking when you or any other judges go into a ring to judge a class whats your overall preference as in the over all area, would it be condition, temperament, health, faults etc and in what order should they be looked at? for instance, 2 dogs great conformation 1 is undershot the other has bad elbows or something, what would you choose? etc etc..

it be nice to get a few people opinions on this weather or not you have judged a class.

I'd imagine that all things being equal, you'd favor the dog with the lesser handicap. The flaw that would hinder him less than the bad movement the elbow problem could generate. Undershot dogs can still bite so that was my reasoning.
