I have a friend who has West German bred dogs. She showed her 16 month
old female yesterday at the Detroit Kennel Club. She really should not
be shown in the AKC ring because she is not the right type. My friend
loves her dog and she wanted to have some fun with her. She took her
in the ring herself. They do UKC usually. Instead of not saying
anything or handing her a red ribbon instead of a blue one because she
was the only one in her class he said to my friend......save your
money and buy yourself a better dog. He really hurt her feelings and
I am sorry...but I think that he was way out of line. He did not have
to say anything. My friend just left my house a few minutes ago and
told me this and she looked at me and said " it makes you not ever
want to go back and show any dogs ever again ". I think that judges
should keep their opinions to themselves sometimes. This man was a
total jerk right from the start and it just amazes me that he found
the good ones to put up...b
ut he did!!!

Sorry Amy, but I respectfully disagree. I think that the judge did
your friend a favor by telling her THE TRUTH. As you already said,
the dog didn't belong in the AKC show ring. I would want the judge to
tell me--I could learn from the experience. Sure, it might hurt, but
I'd recover!
