I had the great pleasure of showing a second time under Mr. Bart Bartley. The
dogs i handled did NOT win one thing, so this is the opinion of a 3rd and 4th
place handler.
Judges are often criticized and sometimes it is an unenviable position. It is
time we recognize a professional judging job.
As a handler i believe i have an unique appreciation for consistency in judging
procedure and judging ...consistency. I find Mr. Bartley unique in his
constitution and consistency with regard to his procedure, and his fairness and
patience and clear communication with each dog/exhibitor. He allows his
procedure to separate the dogs and when it is close he exercises his knowledge
and judgement to make the hard call between dogs that are close. He can explain
his choices in detail and you can have confidence in his explanation.
I believe there are judges who are judges because they qualify under the AKC
guidelines and professional judges who have studied thier craft, thought about
their procedure and have the integrity and knowledge to CONSISTENTLY do an
excellent job. Mr. Bartley is a professional judge.
