Oh dear. Does the poor thing have a club foot?
I haven't suffered worse than a slight frown yet, knock wood.

Dorris can give 0.3 or 0.5 on occasion, and a rare possibility of a negative score.

Like you, Callisto, I fell in love with the dramatic reactions from Dorris, so I made a table and keep it on my desktop. :D

PT Score: Reactions from Dorris

-1 "Well, you tried to get your horse in for the Performance test but, it kicked the trailer the whole time, screamed and in general made a fool of itsself. Then it reared up and bolted before you could even get it into the ring! Good thing Dorris did not see it. Let's just say your horse is bad. Real bad. I think Dorris would have had a heart attack."

-0 "What are you some sort of nut job screw ball or something? Are you sure that is not a llama? Please just turn around and put that thing back in the trailer."

1.1 Your prospect was so bad you actually caused Dorris to faint dead away when she saw it. This is a very bad sign. Oh how the other stables are going to talk about this!

1.1-2.0 Dorris is clearly horrified when she sees your horse. She asks you to please remove the animal from the testing grounds and not to present it again! How embarrassing.

2.1-3.0 Dorris looks shocked when you present the horse. She clearly thinks it is a very poor showing animal. Perhaps you should have left this horse at home.

3.1-4.0 Dorris does not look pleased and practically scowls at your horse. Things do not look good for this prospect.

4.1-5.0 Dorris does not look pleased and practically scowls at your horse. Things do not look good for this prospect.

5.1-6.0 Dorris frowns when you present your prospect. She seems rather put off by the animal. It is doubtful the score will be any good.

6.1-7.0 Dorris frowns when you present your prospect. She seems rather put off by the animal. It is doubtful the score will be any good.

7.1-8.0 Dorris frowns when you present your prospect. She seems rather put off by the animal. It is doubtful the score will be any good.

8.1-9.0 Dorris raises her eyebrow as she inspects your prospect. The corners of her mouth form a tiny frown before she fills out her clipboard. She turns away quickly, unimpressed, without even a dismissal.

9.1-10.0 Dorris gives your prospect a looking over and marks her clipboard without comment before dismissing you with a wave of her hand.

10.1-11.0 Dorris carefully considers your prospect. She marks her clipboard then gives you a slight nod before dismissing you.

11. 1-12.0 Dorris carefully examines your prospect. She seems mildly impressed with the horse and marks the grade down quickly. You are dismissed with a friendly nod.

12.1-13.0 A small smile seems to touch Dorris's lips. Can you believe it? I think she likes your horse. Well done. She sends you off with a twinkle in her eye.

13.1-13.9 Oh wow! Dorris is actually smiling. She sure likes your horse. What a keeper your prospect must be. She even talks to you when you are dismissed. Just wow!

14.1 + Sweet Merciful Mr. Ninjas! Dorris is congratulating you on how nice your horse is. Can I buy that horse off you? No really. I mean it. Please? Oh look she is dismissing you and shaking your hand. You lucky son of a mare!

Got to love Dorris :D
