What is one contest at the State Fair that does not require a dog for qualification?

The judging contest is centered around evaluating the conformation and characteristics of various breeds rather than the performance or skills of a specific dog. Participants in this contest are typically required to assess dogs that are presented to them, making it possible to qualify for participation without having to own or handle a dog themselves. This can involve analyzing the dogs' adherence to breed standards and providing feedback, which is distinct from the other contests that focus on demonstrating skills or behaviors exhibited by a specific dog.
