Wow, I can't imagine any judge 'dumping' a dog because of the handler baiting! And more so, that it would become 'public knowledge' that it was the reason for said 'dumping' at a show.
Most of us utilize bait in the show ring in one manner or another to get their attention or that perfect expression, it's just a matter of course in the show ring. Considerably more distracting or disruptive (for other exhibitors) would be squeakies or bouncy objects; certainly bait in innocuous! I do know of judges asking exhibitors to refrain from baiting during an examination, they probably worry about getting eaten instead of the bait, or getting slobbered on - certainly worthy concerns. But to be dumped because of baiting? Whom is the judge?
