Showdog.com Percents
Since each dog trait is represented as a number, many players have found it useful to use a percentage score to compare dogs on Showdog.com.
Remember, these percentages are only used by players to compare one dog to another and are not official measurements of a dog's quality. This is not the system used by the judging scripts! The dog that has the highest percentage by this calculation will not always be the winner! The judging scripts on Showdog.com take into account which handler you are using, what condition the dog is in, how much it has been exercised, groomed, and trained, and a variety of other factors. (No one knows what all of those factors are --- and the game wouldn't be as much fun if we did.)
