Soon that judge will not get an entry right? If these judges still after years keep getting assignments then one must assume that you are wrong or all exhibitors are morons. I am not saying that no judge ever did anything crooked. But it seems to me it is a self limiting problem people will just quit showing under them. If not you must entertain the though that your opinion is incorrect. Fred -------------------------------- Wrong...these crooked judges keep getting entries from the exhibitors / handlers that consistently win under them, whether they are the best or not. This is how the dogs that are so faulty, with terrible rears, lack of type, but spectacular sidegait, and famous handlers, keep winning, and keep propagating.. How else can they keep winning???The buck stops in the middle of the ring. We all have seen these animals, many breeders breed for them, just to be able to be competitive in the specialty ring. Nothing mysterious here. These judges never have lacked for entries. But...the times they are achangin'.
