Well, I guess that depends on how much time and effort are spent in trying
to learn.
In the "more than 10 years" prior to my first application to judge, I spent
more time
at ringside observing, and just not GSD. Unfortunately, most exhibitors
watch their own
breed and leave the show........if you want to learn, you stay at ringside,
you get to know
breeders in other breeds, and you ask questions. How many GSD exhibitors
stay and
watch another breed....or stay and watch the Group.......not many, unless
it's their dog
in the Group
Also, you spend countless hours at breed seminars...listening to top
breeders in each
breed........you do 'hands-on sessions".........you do "in-ring "
observations under knowledgeable
judges.....and even after you are "approved" for a breed, you go back to
that ring and you
watch and learn some more. I have attended every National for every breed
I have applied
for, with one exception....and that takes tons of time and money, too.
Once a judge understands the basic anatomy of a dog and understands
"movement" in
general, a judge can place more effort in learning about those things that
define "type" in
each breed......and spend the time learning about the current concerns of
the fanciers in
any given breed.
BTW.....ask any Working Group exhibitors........they love GSD judges........
because they understand movement.
All in all, the best judges will be those that care( regardless of their
original breed)
...........as it is with doctors, lawyers, politicians, etc......
some are in it for money, some for power and some because they love what
they do. I am not sure
what you can do to make people care.
