What is an acceptable way to approach a judge during a show?

Walking calmly and confidently while maintaining a respectful demeanor is the ideal approach to a judge during a show. This behavior reflects professionalism and respect for the judge, who is responsible for evaluating your cavy and your showmanship skills.

A calm approach indicates that you are composed and in control, which is important in a show environment where judges are assessing your ability to handle your animal and present yourself well. Confidence, without being overly aggressive, showcases your assurance in your preparation and the care you've put into your cavy.

The other approaches, such as walking quickly and assertively, might give the impression of impatience or eagerness, which may not be seen favorably by a judge. Running to get their attention can be perceived as rude or frantic, which detracts from the composed atmosphere that is expected in a competitive environment. Approaching with your cavy held high could overshadow the act of respectfully engaging with the judge, as it may divert attention away from your presentation and the proper way to hold and showcase your animal. Maintaining respect and composure is key to making a positive impression.
