Told her I have been judging for 14 years and never ONCE was I given a catalog before judging. I actually judged this dog last month in Springfield MA. Before I started judging Shelties my ring steward told me someone told her they wanted a dog measured that day. I told the ring steward to tell the exhibitor they needed to tell me since I was the judge and it had to be while they were in the ring with the dog they wanted measured. Of course, that did not happen. I had the wicket and was waiting for the request, never got it. I did ask the ring steward if the exhibitor who was requesting this from her showed that day. Indeed she did and the ring steward pointed her out to me. I guess she prefers to hide behind a computer screen rather than call for a wicket and face up to it. I did forward the email to the owner. She did respond and said the dog needs one major to finish. I gave him a 3rd in the class. Must be a fairly nice dog since all my classes were large. I think my total entry was around 70.
