Vote for someone with the knowledge, experience to "know what is right", the
judging track record and smarts to have a procedure that supports "the breed
being shown the right way" and the integrity and self-confidence to "do what is
right". One without the other is "second rate" at best and our National
deserves only the "best".

to "read" something into a small comment or agreement.Often a small comment or
agreement is misunderstood and "read" wrong or resented for no"real" reason.I
think most of us really care about who judges the National and always take that
vote very very seriously. It is a major week out of all of our lives and a
pretty big expense. We would all be plain stoooooopid if we didn't take it to
heart and vote for judges who take this Breed and the Standard and a National
win very seriously. None of us should expect to win under any judgeall the
time....but we SHOULD expect integrity, honesty, wisdom, and a really deep
concern for the Standard and this awesome Breed! It shouldn't be about
friendship NOR politics....ESPECIALLY at the National level. I don't vote for
Obedience judges most of the time for that very reason. I don't know enough.
Often people complain because there are a chosen few Judges who do get the
National judgingassignment quite often. AND they often pull the biggest
entry. IMO Why not....if that is who most people believe are the ones who fit
the above criteria? Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On

To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: National Judges 2016 & 2017 I would hope
no one will vote because I say I support someone. I have been reading all the
pleas to ask us to vote for someone. Everyone does say the same things, and
they do so to be elected. I noted that the candidates are all good people and
everyone I have seen so far running for the board, would be someone I support.
I do have some feelings about who would be best for our club, or for judging
our National, but that is just my opinion. It means no more than yours. If
anyone votes only because I say I like this or that person, it would be a
shame. You need to consider everything you can find out about someone, what
other say, what you have heard, and then decide for yourself. I would urge you
not to listen to one person, not to believe everything you read, and never fear
to do what you think is right. And, more so, never worry about what others
might say about you, or who might criticize your opinions. Evan -----Original

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] National Judges 2016 & 2017and if you don't agree with
whom ever Evan and friends are touting for 2016 or 2017 National Judges, you
make enemies by saying so. I don't like being in the position of going
"against the tide" but my final commitment Is always to the German Shepherd
Dog. Credentials before friendships, records before gifts, and most important,
invest your time before you invest your vote. Your vote is as important as
everyone else's, so listen to no one. Check the history of the judge. Check
their past and their winners. Check their record as a breeder and involvement
in the breed and parent club working to better the breed....then vote. Helen
