I know this is an interruption in my round up of Kathleen's visit, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post a list of the judging criteria for the camels as it appeared in the newspaper yesterday.
I really have to do this word for word too. "Criteria for determining a camel's beauty include a large head, firm ears, a long neck, a shapely hump, strong shoulders, straight and strong legs, a shiny coat, good color and more."
Point System
Head and Neck: Whiskers 5, Nose Shape 5, Head Size 5, Ear Firmness 5, Neck's Length and posture 5.
Upper Part: Back Length , Back Height 5, Hump Shape and posture 5, Whole Back Length 5.
Front Part: Neck Width 5, Shoulder 5, Foot 5.
Back Part: Leg Size 5, Leg Straightness 5
General Shape and Fitness: Beauty Display 15, Toe Parting Length 5, Health and hair shininess 5.
Grand Total is 100 points. I supposed the US has it's dog and cat shows and the UAE has it's camel shows.
