Everyone pays for an opinion when he/she enters a dog show. Those who do
not LIKE the opinion of the judge have the right not to enter under him
again. As I said before, judging is subjective. If it was really THAT
BAD, people have a right to complain to the AKC OR The Westminster Kennel
Club.

should have many years of experience judging including countless Best in
Shows.
A BIS judge would be highly sought after in both specialties and all
breeds because of
their knowledge...that is a Best in Show Judge at Westminster. If you
looked at
the judging record of *this* judge, you would again question his
selection.
All of the dogs competing were deserving, not all were given an equal
opportunity
due to ignorance, bias or poor selection by the WKC of it's top judge. At
that show,
I expect the best dogs and equally expect the best judges!
