Denny Kodner was the judge when I showed for the very first time. I was 10 years old and showed a 6-9 bitch "Shannon" who was my first show dog and best friend. I went reserve from the 6-9 class that day and although many hundreds of shows between then are now are forgettable, I remember that day as if it happened yesterday. I remember everyone who was there and exactly how the ring was set up and the colors and lighting inside the building, and so much more. It was a great day. LOL That is the day I knew I wanted to show dogs and Denny Kodner played a big part in that. She was a great judge, always very funny in the ring, so kind and supportive to a clumsy child who tried so hard..... and most improtantly she made every show special for exhibitors and handlers.

Denny finished my Smooth Collie Champion years ago. He was a great judge, nd had quite a sense of humor. I enjoyed showing under him.

Just read on Judge's-L that Denny Kodner passed on Sunday. Don't know nything else at this time. While Denny becasme known as an All Breed judge in ecent years, Denny started out in GSDs and was quite well known as a GSD andler. We are seeing the end of an era with the passing of those who were the oundation of this breed in the US.
