GEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!! I am a breeder judge that shows in the All Breeds.... I show in the AB because that is where I like to play..... that is where I 'grew up' in dogs...back in the 60's. I show in the AB because as a Group Judge, I like to be visible to the folks with other other herding breeds....they like to know their judges. I have judged MANY specialties, in both the USA and Canada. I judge GSD frequently at All Breed shows........I judge the entire Herding Group. Dogs that I have given wins to, or BOB's, have gone on to Selects at the National... whether I have judged them at a specialty or in the AB ring. Please tell me why it is necessary to try to put everyone in a 'little box' and label them. To suggest that I cannot appreciate a 'specialty' dog is more than a little insulting. BTW, the champion I just retired, (Ch. Bedkar's Obsession) was a Top Ten GSD for 2 years, an AOE winner at the 2003 AKC/Eukanuba and a specialty BOB winner. That is the kind of GSD this breeder judge wants. ---Kay Reamensnyder and Betty Doerpinghaus ---bedkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ---VISIT OUR WEBSITE:http://home.earthlink.net/~bedkar > [Original Message] > From: <GEschette@xxxxxxx> > To: <hcj2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 12/10/2005 8:20:10 AM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: GSD Judges > > There are several judges that are breeder judges, but most of the dogs they > showed, showed only in all breed shows.
