I don't know about Bob, but I was certainly a "new name.....a "new face"....a "new judge" at the 2002 National.The GSDCA and his membership are no doubt open to new face.They will support a new upcoming judge even if he lives in a different country and his mother tongue isn't English. Thank you all for gaving me the opportunity and privilege to judge your National. It was, once in a life time, experience that I will cherish all my life.

Is there something I'm missing on the 2007 Judging slate??? Isn't Bob Kish a "new name".......a "new face".....a "new Judge" for the National...????? Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxx www.marhaven.com ----- Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: national judges I agree with Ann. Maybe we should stretch out the length of time a judge can do the National. People keep telling me--"we need new faces"--it would be a way to help the situation. Jamie Walker was a new face and what a class act was she. So she got caught up with a section of animals she really liked--so we all have a brain cramp once in a while. Jamie conducted herself in the most professional way and with confidence. A real pleasure to watch her judge. sandi card > >I'm abstaining. Maybe we should make it longer between judging the >>national and then we will get new faces.
