It's more than the WD and the WB. I don't think a judge should go in the ring after pre-judging any part of the entry at the show. If you remember it was the GSDCA that made that rule in the 70's & 80's at the "forceful " request of the AKC. It was in the judging contract ,just like the temperament test requirement,that a judge that was nominated had to sign--if he got the Intersex assignment,they could not see the other judging. . How would the members feel about that now ?? Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
