In order for everyone to receive information here is a report; there appears to
be on going concern about the objectivity of the investigation surrounding the
Midwest.
Kris called me to report that an exhibitor at the MW Futurity had expressed
concern to her about a handler showing under the judge at the Futurity.
A formal complaint was not filed, I was present at the MW Futurity and was not
approached at any time during that Futurity.
Nevertheless, information was gathered and the facts reported to AKC. Report
was to Jack Norton, Head of Compliance, working our of the Raleigh Offices.
The AKC concluded that a "conflict of interest" did not exist BUT, AKC
recommended that the MW Futurity Judge be notified that in the future, for the
sake "of not creating a suspicion of impropriety" she should not allow the same
situation in the future. The judge has been so notified.
Why did AKC deem there was not an "INTENTIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST" ?
1) The owner judge did not hire the handler
2) The handler was picked up at ringside, & asked to take the dog in to hold
the major.
3) There was no other handler available.
4) The judge was not at the show
5) The hired handler who was Alex Muse, did not make it to the show due to
flight delay.
6) The handler had NEVER handled for this judge before, according
to AKC a "BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP HAD NOT EXISTED PREVIOUSLY and
BECAUSE THE JUDGE DID NOT "HIRE" THE HANDLER AT THE TIME an established
business relationship did not exist
7) The judge was not "billed" for the handling service. .
I sent this same information to an individual who contacted me privately, the
reply was that is a "bunch of "b--- s----" . and implied that favoritism was
inherent in the decision making process by saying it is evident who is
important. Now, the PC nor I make AKC rules, we do not interrupt them on our
own and we do not decide who/what/when the sanction will be. Therefore, the
only conclusion I can reach is that the individual thinks that I gave
misleading information to AKC. If the majority think the National Futurity
Chair is dishonest - then a replacement is in order - there will be NO
resistance from the chair. (Don't ask me who sent the private email - I am in
Executive Session) !!! .

I stand corrected. Nancy Harper has been responsive, that's true.
