In a dog conformation show, judges aren't merely comparing the dogs to each other.

Rather, they judge each dog against the parameters of the idealized version of its breed.

In other words, when the judge looks at your poodle, Fluffy, he is comparing Fluffy to the written standards of the ideal poodle.
