If you can't post results on line because a judge might look for the info, not posting it isn't going to help. How easy it would be to find out if the judge wanted to. I totally agree. One cannot legislate or police integrity or honesty. A crook is a crook, an honest person is an honest person. Simple! I would think for most of the judges, it would take the fun out of judging for them to already now who they were going to pick. I'm sure some judges do judge for the attached esteem of the position, but I would figure the majority do it for the personal excitement they get seeing and handling great groups of dogs and than getting to put their own stamp of approval on one. Deena Talk about take the fun out of judging! One may as well just stay home and mail the winners their prize. Being able to see and evaluate a great group of German Shepherds is, and always will be, the ultimate rush. No esteem or position could ever repace that, for me anyway.
