Cat Orange, CA 7/11/2011 2:39:35 PM I agree when it comes to a judge who puts up a dog due to the handler. What I hate more is when you see the pro-handlers talking with the judges proir to the show or bred judging starts. The dog/bitch should be judge on the standards not who is on the other end of the lead.
efn bismark, SD 3/31/2009 1:55:38 PM I agree that is is disheartening to show to a judge who puts up handlers. I have gone so far as to pull my dogs/bitches if I review the history and find the judge is too partial to handlers. While I understand that handlers must make a living...both judges & handlers must remember = without the breeders you have no job at all - if I choose to show some of my dogs - treat me fairly.
