Oh yes folks there is Rita always a lady. And a darn good judge!! ******************************************************************************************** After being informed that there was a discussion on the list regarding the AKC rep at the shows where I judged, I decided to go read those posts. Boy am I glad I was the first judge and not the last. LOL She actually was nice to me. She did speak with me prior to my judging BOB competition. I turned to some in the crowd and said, " now that you have gotten me in trouble, please behave". I even had a discussion with her in the judges break room after I was through judging. Since I watched the afternoon show, I did witness that she seemed to be getting more upset as the day continued. It is too bad that this has happened as it was a great entry with a lot of nice dogs. It was a pleasure to judge. I am hopeful that the situation will get resolved for the future. It is wonderful, as a judge, to see such a nice turnout with quality to boot. I really enjoyed the assignment. Rita Sandell Werner Image German Shepherd Dogs -home of- BISS Am/Can Ch.
