I couldn't care less if someone wants to watch what I do. But, if they don't like it, they can get the assignment the next time, and do it their way. The evaluators were never supposed to be secret, they are always supposed to introduce themselves, tell the judge they are there to observe, watch the animals and see if they show any shyness, and whether or not the animal showed shyness was placed. They are to ask the judge if they have any questions about the loose leash temperament test, if not, that's it. Just observe, make their notes, and mail them to the Temperament Chairman and a copy to the Futurity Chairman. It isn't Big Brother............
