Jane... your post was very thoughtful and well written...and in real life I am
not a judge either although I play one on "the list"...I have gone to many
shows where I did not think the best dog won...I have won a few and said to my
friend and handler that I did not believe I had the best dog at the
show....were all of these judges "crooked"....absolutely not...at most shows
there are several very good and sometimes great representatives of what a
German Shepherd is...most so-called crooked judges don't put up unworthy
dogs....but they have agendas...and their agenda does not include finding the
best dog that day based on their understanding of our standard.....that's why
during a two show weekend on one day "Fido" can go winners dog and the next day
he can go third in his class....were either of the two judges
dishonest.....hopefully no they weren't...individual interpretation and
subjectivity both play a determining factor in our sport....crooks don't
usually put up bad
dogs....incompetent judges do...but that's a whole nother topic....Ed

I have no judging license to "level the playing field".
Let me try and understand what is being alleged here?
I am just wondering?
........are any successes and/or losses that I, or anyone, may have had through
the years the result of "crooked" judging?
And, if you believe that my (or someone else's) dogs have won because of
"crooked" judges and that they did not win on their own merit because of their
quality...........what must you think of any of the breeding programs of any
one who has achieved a modicum of success in the breed ring?
You don't think their dogs deserve the successes achieved? You think the dogs
were not worthy?
If the judging is "crooked", then the dogs who are winning are not deserving.
No?
Perhaps we should start giving name to the "undeserving dogs"..........it would
help to identify these "dishonest" judges.
If someone would start naming "undeserving" dogs who have been successful in
the breed ring, then we will be able to give names to the judges who are
"crooked". No?
I have always valued the Red Book and the information it offers. It is a
breeder's hand book and a wealth of information for those who will read. The
results are tabulated more than one way.
Are the dogs in the Red Book included in the tabulations because "crooked"
judges have given them titles they don't deserve?
Could someone name a deserving dog who should have finish his Championship and
didn't because of "crooks" in the center of the ring?
This sword which has been unsheathed cuts both ways.
