Those are the arrogant judges we need to get out of there. Boy does that ring a bell. A few years ago, at an AB show, the judge obviously disliked our breed and actually told us before we went in the ring, "Any dog that tries to bite me will be excused" She had been bitten the previous day by another breed and was terrified of our breed. It showed. Every dog shown backed off from her. Even dogs who I personally knew were very sound. The fear was the key. This woman should not be a judge.
