It has recently come to my attention that I have the reputation of not liking Sables. That is not true. I have owned several sables and lost a very good one to bloat while in Canada being shown in prep for the Canadian National Ask Maryann Imoff about Hutch. Bonnie and I also briefly owned (that is another story) Can and Am Grand Victorix Anton`s Jenne. I think Leroy Brown was a magnificant animal plus Ask Suzanne K. if I like her sable champion. To say a judge does not like a color is to say that he/she does not judge to the standard. When we are accepted by the AKC to judge a breed, we agree to judge by the standard and in our standard color is not an issue. Lack of is the issue. I doubt if this will change anyones mind about my judging but might change their mind about what colors I like or dislike.
