Sometimes judges at fairs already have their minds made up about the type they want to see. Personally, I love this and see how much time it took you to do.
It is true in all competitions in the world. Some judges don't like cocker spaniels so people don't enter them in that contest but wait until they have a fighting chance.
It's the same as entering my daughter in a ballet competion...she'd fall flat on her face. lol
