Is it any different than someone at ringside walking up to an owner ringsi= de and saying, Is that puppy/adult for sale? And if it is, buying it? Where is it written that the judge cannot buy a dog after they judge it?" Sounds like another person who needs to get a Life. I had a judge offer to buy my bitch a few days he had judged her, and rather than being offended, I felt highly honoured. This Judge is a very highly respected GSD Judge and it would be completely against his reputation to do anything unethical. I didn't sell her (she is my Second Wife), but I consider his offer to buy her one of the highest Compliments ever paid to her.
