Ed-I agree with every thing you say BUT the problem is who will do the
critiques of the judges? A Breed Survey was tried years ago but if your dog
did not survey well the problem, in the owners mind, was not the animal but
the person doing the survey. A similar thing will happen with a critique of
judges. The supposed problem will not be the judge being critiqued but will
be the person doing the critique. One of the best systems is the German
system of continued education and observations of judging. We have a
different mindset than the Germans and our judging system involves over 150
breeds while the German system, which I admire, has only one breed to be
concerned with. D.D.

> The best way to improve education is to improve the teachers, when this
happens the students automatically receive better educations....I think the
same holds true for the sport of conformation dogs....the best way to
improve our dogs is to improve THE JUDGES....and this is not going to happen
through an act of nature...it will only happen when the AKC allows public
critiques of its judges...why should AKC judges be above review...my wife
never buys a car with out checking into Consumer Reports...and notice I did
not say public criticism of judges, I said critiques..when I was an under
graduate student at San Jose State in 1972 very few students ever signed up
for a class with out looking up the teacher in a publication called the
"Tower List"...all full time faculty teachers were listed and
critiqued...that book keep me away from some bad teachers.......when I start
teaching full time in March I am going to be watched, reviewed and critiqued
constantly...and If I do not do a
> good
> job, out the door I go....something like this is way over due in the
sport of conformation dogs...yea yea..I know ...it will never happen.....but
it should...Ed Hill
