Jean Fournier is a good judge for our breed and I believe she spent alot of time studying our breed and coming to our Nationals and taking the time to do our judges study group. She gave my CH Marlin's Another Winner a Group 1 and then had a lengthy conversation with me and my handler about how she really took the time to learn our breed and enjoys judging it.
