Wouldn't it be simpler to do away with the Constructed Temperament Evaluation? Then the judge can either put up whom he thinks he wants to put up, the club can decide whether they want a judge that puts up the type dog the judge puts up, and the exhibitor can decide whether to show under that judge or not.
