I have had some handlers say to me they did not get a look..HUH isnt it all about the dogs???I have a father of a handler always upset because so and so did not put his daughter up..Again it has NOTHING to do about the daughter as it is the animal being judged..Friends should not put the Judge in a situation as everyone has an opinion today mostly wrong..If you judge enough most can tell you are judging the dogs and not friends or handlers..Being myself in the breed quite awhile I know a lot of people so it is hard not giving someone you know the points...Having a great day in beautiful Miami about 72 degrees Barbara Amidon ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
