.....Being inside that square circle twice as "judge" for fun matches was extremely difficult and fun...and man did I feel the pressure, pressure to do a good job!..each time I could not have cared less who the handler was or who owned the dog. I understood my job and I tried to find the best dog in each class...after the first show I second guessed myself on the plane ride all the way home!...after the second show I feel asleep on the plane ride home..I did an honest job both times...I did not say I did a good job each time...experience and knowledge increases with time...honesty is either there or it's not...and this post is not intended to knock judges, I don't do that on this list anymore.....Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
