Hi Michel, We are glad your English is so precise... I am always concerned when I attempt to use a non-native tongue that I might make a critical mistake. When I first read your message it gave me quite a chuckle as my brain first translated the meaning to say," "I'm the elected judge for bitching at the US National." Thanks. I needed that!

Normally I should judge junior showmanship and I would love to judge Junior but AKC doesn't accept that I judge junior in USA. I'm a CKC approved judge (0363) and a AKC visiting judge (6706). There is no license for judging junior in Canada and AKC will not give me approval for a non approval class in Canada. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but not judging Junior at the USA National is not my choice but AKC choice. Thanks for listening.
