Bingo Kay you are right on!

And, there are some specialty GSD judges that don't have a clue. I show at both all breeds and specialties but I pick my judges in both venues and I think that is what an exhibitor needs to do. I keep records on all the judges I have shown under. I list what they put up and in my opinion what they like. I use that information along with the knowledge of my handler to decide if I show or not show. If I do not know the judge or have not shown under the judge, I will try them once, maybe twice and then decide from that point on whether I show or not. Like others on the list, I feel a good GSD can win in both rings. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
