She said that she liked his bone, coat and temperament, but could not
honestly critque him, as she DID NOT know the GSD STANDARD; she awarded the
prizes by what she liked!! Don't know if I was more surprised by her honesty
or stupidity. How can you have a judge that does not know the STANDARD
(this was an allbreed show.
It happens that some judges get the shepherds to judge, because they want
to do the group. You have to judge the breeds in the group, before you can
judge the group. Some judges who have other herding breeds will add the few
remaining breeds for that purpose.
I find that the newer judges try to learn our standard. But, some are
honest enough to say they don't know it, and judge on what they like. It is a
shame, but at our National you will see judges of other breeds learning our
standard and our breed. I have had a number of judges ask to sit with me or
who I recommend that they listen to.
I am not sure listening to me is a good idea, but I can appreciate that at
least they want to learn. Our breed is different, and not an easy standard
to understand.
