Kathy I must say you are becoming my Hero. **************************************************** I have read this with great interest/disgust. Putting your hands on someone in a hostile or threatening way is assault in my book. Following them to admonish them is harassment. Yelling in someone's face is also threatening, and embarrassing, and against the AKC's OWN Code of Sportsmanship. Going into the ring to try and direct a judge' s placements...how is that kosher? ANY JUDGE ALLOWING IT....no more entries from me, ever. I would have had a Bench show on this moronic Rep so fast it would have made her head spin, and then I would have the cops out to handle the assault/battery issue. AND HEAVEN HELP ANYONE THAT WOULD DO THIS IN FRONT OF MY CHILDREN. Take no prisoners, don't put up with the self agrandizing, god complex and MY WORD IS LAW that some of the reps and stewards seem to have. Listen to your handler, he or she knows what a judge will permit or not. The AKC says, IT IS JUDGE's DISCRETION, it doesn't say doodly squat about REPS OR STEWARDS.
