You owe an obligation to your sport to report action such as this to the AKC.
As a past trial judge for the AKC I know that they often have no idea what some
of their judges are doing in the ring. They depend on us to "police" the ranks.
It is never too late. Send a letter to the AKC, and let them weed out the bad
judges.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: ARTICLE from TheDogPress.com
A few very good points are presented. Such as:
Am I the only one who has felt totally embarassed being dressed far nicer than
the judge? And then get yelled at by the judge "you conformation people...."
Which I still never understood- I was at the shows ONLY for the rally trials
being offered, not confirmation! I didn't even want to walk into the ring,
after the judge totally bashed me (and apparently my conformation looking dog)
before the NOVICE class even started! I didn't even bother to try hard,
knowing the bias was there and we wouldn't be in the competition for high
placements that day... Now there's a club I will never ever show at again!
So true about how so few of us who grew up "in dogs" actually stuck around for
a red hot second after we aged out of juniors or moved out on our own....
How do we fix this? Is there any way to strongly encourage every GSD club to
have junior showmanship at all its specialty shows? Perhaps a GSDCA mandate in
effort to preserve the breed's future in the show ring?
On a note about the multi-owners: I find it interesting that while AKC has
gone to allowing a slew of owners providing each one pays an extra $10 per
head; the UKC has gotten completely away from the multi-owners. They used to
allow 4 but now have it set up that the primary (lived with) owner has sole
control over the dog as a signatory. At the time, I didn't understand the
concept at all!! Now i do though... Puts control back in to the hands of the
dog's actual person, not their committee!
Thanks for the forward!
