Maybe part of the problem is the Judges Approval System (in Canada).
It is my understanding that Judges are given half a Group at a time,
whether they want it or not (this is not hearsay, I was told that by a
Judging applicant).
I was also told, by a GSD breeder in Canada, that she would never apply
to judge GSD, because they would make her judge breeds she doesn't want
to...
Hey, Susan, have you heard of that?????
