Ileana-In a recent e-mail to the List you stated.."So some judges won`t put me up". Are you suggesting that a judge will not give you a win because of who you are and not based on the quality of the animal presented to them? If so, I find that hard to comprehend. What has the owner of the animal being judged to do with NOT giving the dog the win? I can understand the reverse where a judge might favor a friend but the opposite is foreign to me and please don`t call me naive as I have been in this circus for over 40 years. Is this a common occurrence? I am curious and interested in your answer. This is not a confrontational e-mail or a negative one, just a curious inquiry on a subject that I have never encountered.
