The majority that wrote me, either in private, or to the list, did not initially answer my question, but jumped on the judge or said that you wouldn't hire them or called them a bad judge. I've said that I only heard bits and pieces of the initial conversation and it was later told to me again by the person who was originally talking to the judge. I spent three days figuring out how to post this topic. THREE. I only included this scenario because it helped me ask my question, and I'm beginning to wonder why I post questions at all. I don't know many assignments this judge has ever had, I don't know how they've placed animals in the past. I have no problem with this particular judge, and I liked their ring procedure etc. The only reason the judge was included at all, was because it was pertinent info (at least for ME) to ask my question.
