I was disappointed with the judge's decision regarding the 3rd place winner. This dog performed a well-known and easily-learned trick which any dog with a nose could learn, without the trainer having invested a great deal of time and energy. Because two of the judges were totally ignorant of this fact, the well-trained then 3rd place contender was eliminated. I feel this was totally unfair. I also feel it was somewhat underhanded for the host to "play along" with the hoax; had he not, perhaps the two judges would have clued in and not given such high marks. The first and second place winners were truly amazing, but the third place winner should not have even been considered for the finals, in my humble opinion.
