Grant handled at a lot of Canadian shows, but is a Michigander. Jeff is 100% correct; Grant is a great guy and a perfect gentleman. Always exuded good sportsmanship.

Otherwise, Jeff, I sent the same reply to this inquiry, but on another list. Peggy caggra@xxxxxxx wrote: >Clever response and too funny.. > >On a serious note, Grant Winchell is a very new judge. He was a professional handler for many many years and is from Michigan. When I say professional handler, I mean PROFESSIONAL. I have known Grant since I started showing as a kid and he was always helpful, supportive, encouraging and positive. He is a true gentleman. I do not know how many assignments, if any, he has had yet. But I look forward to having him as a new GSD judge. I suspect he will be fair, pleasant and consistent in his judging. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
